It's a simple, regulated approach that's perfectly suited to companies that want to take concrete action, without getting involved in a purely advertising-based approach.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"763\">Unlike sponsorship, corporate philanthropy is based on a clear principle: it is a way of giving something back to the community. <strong data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"626\">donation<\/strong>, without any significant commercial consideration. The company is not \u201cbuying\u201d visibility. It is contributing to a project of general interest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"763\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/don-humanitaire-madagascar\/\">Support a humanitarian association<\/a> such that <a href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/\">Helping Hands<\/a> is part of this <a href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/importance-de-la-bonte-dans-ce-monde\/\">charitable approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"946\">What are the tax benefits of corporate sponsorship?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1063\">In France, corporate philanthropy gives rise, in principle, to a tax deduction. <a href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/don-defiscalise-association-reduction-impot\/\"><strong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1062\">tax reduction of 60 % of the amount of the donation<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1105\">Two ceilings must be taken into account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1119\">20 000 \u20ac<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1165\">or 0.5 % of sales excluding tax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1208\">The most advantageous ceiling applies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1345\">If the amount of donations exceeds this threshold, the excess can be carried forward to subsequent years, in accordance with current tax rules.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1361\">In concrete terms :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1428\">Donation of \u20ac1,000 \u2192 tax reduction of \u20ac600 \u2192 actual cost \u20ac400<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1496\">Donation of \u20ac5,000 \u2192 tax reduction of \u20ac3,000 \u2192 actual cost \u20ac2,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1568\">This mechanism makes sponsorship accessible, even for very small businesses and SMEs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1618\">Patronage and sponsorship: not to be confused<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"1650\">This is an important distinction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1748\"><strong data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1665\">Sponsorship<\/strong> : donation with no significant advertising compensation \u2192 tax reduction possible.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1852\"><strong data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1765\">Sponsorship<\/strong> commercial operation with proportional visibility \u2192 different tax treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"2014\">An association can of course thank a company or mention its support. But if the quid pro quo becomes advertising and measurable, the framework changes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2076\">The spirit of sponsorship remains that of a responsible commitment.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2083\" data-end=\"2119\">Why support Helping Hands?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2285\">Helping Hands takes concrete action in the field of education and food. The projects are identified, monitored and focused on the real needs of the children.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2346\">Depending on the direction you choose, sponsorship can contribute to :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2383\">financing school canteens<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2423\">supporting a teacher's salary<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2426\" data-end=\"2461\">buy school supplies<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2464\" data-end=\"2530\">participate in the construction or renovation of a classroom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2678\" data-end=\"2795\">For a company, this means supporting a specific project, with a measurable impact and no red tape.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"2854\">How do you set up a corporate sponsorship programme?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2856\" data-end=\"2879\">The process is simple.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-start=\"2884\" data-end=\"2949\">Define the amount of the donation and its frequency (one-off or annual).<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2953\" data-end=\"2991\">Make the donation via the appropriate channel.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"3047\">Receive a tax receipt issued by the association.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3051\" data-end=\"3101\">Keep this document in the accounting file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3255\">The tax receipt shows the identity of the association, the amount of the donation and the date of payment. It is the supporting document in the event of an audit.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3322\" data-end=\"3351\">A coherent CSR approach<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3353\" data-end=\"3467\">Corporate sponsorship is not just about tax optimisation. It is part of a socially responsible approach.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3469\" data-end=\"3521\">For a company, supporting an association can :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3525\" data-end=\"3556\">strengthen internal cohesion<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3559\" data-end=\"3595\">giving meaning to a CSR strategy<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3598\" data-end=\"3658\">create a dynamic of commitment among employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3660\" data-end=\"3774\">The most important thing is consistency. Sponsorship works when it is truly in line with the company's values.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3781\" data-end=\"3793\">In a nutshell<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3795\" data-end=\"3875\">Corporate sponsorship for an association is based on three simple elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3879\" data-end=\"3931\">a donation with no significant commercial consideration<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3934\" data-end=\"3990\">a tax reduction of 60 % within the legal limits<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3993\" data-end=\"4043\">a clearly identified project of general interest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4045\" data-end=\"4154\">Helping Hands favours a human-scale approach, <a href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/a-propos-helping-hands\/transparence-financiere\/\">transparent<\/a>, and focused on concrete action.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4156\" data-end=\"4213\">\ud83d\udc49 Make a donation :<br data-start=\"4173\" data-end=\"4176\" \/><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/faire-un-don\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"4176\" data-end=\"4213\">https:\/\/helpinghands.fr\/en\/make-a-donation\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le m\u00e9c\u00e9nat d\u2019entreprise permet \u00e0 une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de soutenir une association tout en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiant d\u2019un avantage fiscal pr\u00e9vu par la loi.
