The FEF is among the research bodies recognised by the Government that can benefit from charitable donations through the tax earmarking initiative "5x1000".

All Italian taxpayers can designate this small percentage of tax monies to our institute: all one has to do is insert the fiscal code of the FEF (94021060481) in the section dedicated to the 5x1000 on the declaration of revenues (under "Funding for scientific research and universities").

Thanks to the generosity of many taxpayers who over the last few years have allocated their 5‰ to the FEF, we have been able to finance research grants for young researchers, including scholarships for our specialisation course.

The administration and everyone who participates in the FEF are grateful to those who contribute in this way to allow young researchers to pursue their studies of the Middle Ages.

The FEF is a nonprofit organisation, and as such may receive donations to support it, which are tax-deductible for Italian residents; if you are considering making a gift from outside of Italy, please check the applicable national legislation regarding charitable donations. Each financial gift is deductible from income as follows:

For individual donors giving money as a natural person, the law allows for a deduction of the donation from the IRPEF income tax equal to 10% of the total declared income, up to a maximum of 70.000,00 euros per year (art. 14, DL 35/2005).

For companies and for all who are subject to the IRES corporate tax as owners of a company, in addition to the deduction noted above, a more advantageous deduction of the full sum from total declared income can be applied (art. 1 para. 353, law 266/2005 cit.).

To make a donation via bank transfer, please mark the reason for payment with "Erogazione liberale per la ricerca a favore della Fondazione Ezio Franceschini ONLUS" (Donation to the Fondazione Ezio Franceschini ONLUS); the IBAN for the account is IT15X0503402800000000104014.

Please also contact the secretariat with the information we need to provide you with the receipt.
