BECOME STRONGERS PARTNER

Get your company running. Employees train, researchers win a grant.

Strongers Social Club ETS is the first Italian model that converts corporate amateur sport into mini-grants for under-40 young oncologists. Statutory constraint on funds, independent Scientific Committee, public transparency audit.

"Performance serves progress. Sport fuels research."

7 researchers funded since 2023
€20.700 disbursed to lung cancer research
235+ event participants in 3 years

Three ways to activate the model

One platform, three distinct logics. Choose the one that makes most sense for your company: from community activation to direct research funding.

Ecosystem

ENABLE

Ecosystem Partner

For those who want to support event execution and community activation. Capital funds infrastructure, not grants directly.

  • Brand visibility on events (Rome Marathon charity, Oxygen Swim Cup, Spartan, Padel)
  • Employee engagement as corporate teams in charity relays
  • Co-design of event format (corporate wellness day)
  • Inclusion in the annual impact report

Research

RESTRICT

Research Partner

For those who want to fund a fellowship directly. Capital is 100% restricted to research, evaluated by the independent Scientific Committee.

  • A Strongers Research Fellowship with your name
  • Merit-based selection via Scientific Committee (zero internal board)
  • Researcher First: funding goes to the researcher, not the laboratory
  • Communication of the funded project and results over time

Hybrid

COMBINE

Hybrid Partner

For those who want the complete model: ecosystem enablement + dedicated fellowship activation. It is the recommended tier for companies seeking maximum reputational impact.

  • All Ecosystem + Research benefits combined
  • Dedicated fellowship + prominent presence at major annual events
  • Multi-year partnership with shared KPIs (sport impact + research impact)
  • Invitations to annual Awards and call winners ceremony

Frequently asked questions

Which tier makes sense for my company?

It depends on your goal: if you want visibility + employee engagement choose Ecosystem; if you have a marketing/CSR budget restricted to scientific research choose Research; if you want both and seek maximum reputational impact Hybrid is the right compromise. We'll clarify together in the exploratory call.

How much does a partnership cost?

We have no fixed price list. Typical range for Ecosystem starts at €5,000/year, Research from €3,000 (a full fellowship), Hybrid from €15,000+. Everything is negotiable based on goals, duration and payment methods.

How do you track my investment's impact?

We publish certified annual financials with traced fund allocation (Sport → Research → Operations). On each Research/Hybrid Fellowship you receive updates from the funded researcher and access to the annual impact report. Numbers are public, verifiable by anyone on our site.

Can I allocate my company's 5×1000?

Yes. Companies can indicate the 5×1000 in their Italian tax forms in favour of Strongers Social Club ETS (Tax ID 96564050589). It pairs well with a partnership: the 5×1000 is the "always on", the partnership is the specific co-signed project.
