Contribute

Corporate Sponsors

Businesses and institutions help the Institute put Italian regional culture in front of a wide public.

Partnership

What sponsorship makes possible

The Institute's public programs are built on partnerships. A concert needs a hall, a workshop needs materials, a publication needs printing and an exhibition needs installation. Sponsors provide the part of the budget that turns a good idea into an evening people can attend.

Sponsorship can be directed. A business may choose to support a music and dance workshop, a lecture series, the cataloguing of part of the archive, or the production of a book and its recordings. The Institute will discuss what is feasible and report back on what was achieved.
