Tax reliefs
The Talento all’Opera Foundation is a third-sector philanthropic entity that registered with the Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS) in May 2024.
The law provides for important tax benefits for those who choose to support a third sector entity (ETS). These entities exclusively pursue, on a non-profit basis, civic, solidarity-related and socially useful purposes by performing activities of general interest. This is the mechanism of fiscal subsidiarity: every amount of money donated to Il Talento all’Opera turns into a contribution for the growth of the community we all live in.
