Becoming a Patron

Patronage is material or financial support donated to a general interest project or activity. It takes on many different forms:

 

  • Financial patronage. This is the most traditional type of donation, to be carried out in the form of a monetary contribution.

  • Patronage in kind. This consists of donating or lending assets (furniture, equipment loans, knowledge).
  • Skill-based patronage. This consists of making an employee available, during work hours, under the framework of providing services or lending skilled labor.

You can become a patron by supporting an ongoing restoration project or by supporting the preservation and development policy for Essonne’s heritage as a whole.

Assert and Add Value to your Presence in the Region

By becoming a patron, the name of your company will be visible on all Departmental communications and with thousands of visitors who visit our estates each year.

You will give added meaning to your company’s communication campaigns by sharing with your clients and employees values such as solidarity and generosity, as well as your taste for art, culture and heritage.

You will be able to expand your network during events to which you will be invited, all of them in unique and prestigious settings: art exhibit openings, performances, concerts, conferences, etc.

The advantages offered by the Department will be adapted to each patron’s project, in accordance with the support that your company contributes.

Numerous Tax Advantages

Since 2003, companies benefit from a corporate tax reduction of 60% of the amount of the donation, up to 0.5% of their revenue, tax excluded.

Over this amount, any surplus can give rise to a tax reduction over the next five years (Art. 238 bis of the General Tax Code). The Heritage Foundation will issue a tax receipt to the patron in question.
