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
500+ 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?

Every year we publish the signed cash-basis financial statement filed with the RUNTS (art. 13 Legislative Decree 117/2017), with the use of funds tracked (Sport→Research→Operations). For every Research/Hybrid Fellowship you receive updates from the funded researcher and access to the annual impact report. The figures are public and verifiable by anyone on our website.

Can my company help with the 5×1000?

Yes, by making it known to employees and collaborators. The 5×1000 is a choice on the personal income tax (IRPEF) of individuals, not a company tax: we can agree on information materials for an internal campaign (tax code 96564050589). It pairs well with a partnership: the 5×1000 is the "always on", the partnership is the specific co-signed project.
