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.
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
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.
