Patrons and partners

Partnership

The Museum’s mission is to enhance, preserve and promote its collections. It looks to raise the awareness of the widest public possible with regards to humanist culture, history, creation and the different forms of expression that have made their mark throughout the ages. Scientific and educational, the mission varies today more than ever according to the mutual blend of knowledge and imagination – the basis of any action.

Measures for companies

A 60% tax deduction for the amount donated by the company

Supplementary measures for companies engaging in cultural patronage.

The law passed August 1, 2003 paves a new, larger road for company patronage by nearly doubling the tax advantages of years prior
- A 60% tax deduction for corporate tax levels (or for corporate income tax of companies taxed on a BIC, BNC and BA basis) for the donations the patron company provides to the exhibition.
- Limited by a ceiling of 0.5% of turnover, with the possibility to use any excess (over the threshold) to pay taxes due in the next five financial years. This scheme also applies for non-profit making financial years.

This plan replaces the earlier deduction scheme for taxable income.

Benefits

-The donating company’s name is associated with cultural operations in communications. The company donating to the exhibition also benefits from compensations equal to 25% of the total amount of the donation.
