Get your company running. Employees train, researchers win a grant.
Strongers is the first Italian model that converts corporate amateur sport into mini-grants for young oncologists. The statutory constraint guarantees that funds finance research, not overhead. The Scientific Committee is external and publishes evaluation criteria.
Annual report with number of co-funded researchers, affiliations and research areas. Not generic engagement: concrete lung-oncology KPIs.
Employees run, swim, compete for a concrete cause. Sport becomes purpose, not mandatory benefit.
Donations to Strongers Social Club ETS are tax-deductible under the Italian Third Sector Code (D.Lgs. 117/2017, art. 83). Fiscal documentation provided.
Why it works
7 researchers funded in 2 years, €20,700 disbursed. Affiliations: IRCCS Gemelli, Humanitas, AOU Parma, AOU Pisana, S.Andrea Rome, UNISA. We don't just fundraise: every call has a public calendar, published criteria, external Committee, communicated outcomes.
Collaboration opportunities
Co-fund the annual mini-grant of a young oncologist. The researcher's name and institution appear in your CSR report.
Bring employees to run, swim or cycle at a Strongers event (Rome Marathon, Oxygen Swim Cup, Padel). Every registration co-funds the call.
Double employees' donations euro for euro. Separate reporting per corporate member.
We have formalized 3 partnership tiers: Ecosystem (ENABLE), Research (RESTRICT), Hybrid (COMBINE). Visit the dedicated page to choose.
