How to support us ?

 

Our primary purpose is to share free scientific content with the widest audience through audiovisual productions broadcasted on diverse online platforms. In 2020, the association was declared of public utility by the Canton of Geneva, a status that perfectly reflects the commitment set by SciencEscape. We strive for a strong link and dialogue between science et society by allowing researchers from all backgrounds to highlight their work, field missions, and experiences.

 

Until now, we have relied on diverse grants, prizes, and the support of different institutes and researchers to fund our projects. These collaborations allowed us to cover for production expenses (travelling fees, accommodation, food, and hardware purchase) while we insured the shooting, videomaking, and administrative tasks on a voluntary basis. In order to drive continuous development, our organization is expending really fast and as such, relies on several employees working full-time for SciencEscape.

​

Individuals:

 

SciencEscape being a non-profit association of public utility based in Switzerland, each donation exceeding 100 CHF is tax deductible for all individuals working or based in the country. The donation can be deducted from both IFD (Impôt Fédéral Direct) and ICC (Impôt Cantonal et Communal). In most Swiss cantons, the deduction is accepted up to 20% of net income of the contributor.

 

Legal and corporate entities:

 

Legal or corporate entities can support us under the same terms as for individuals (subject to head office being based in Switzerland) or through sponsorship. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop and increase your visibility both in national and international levels through your support to a nonprofit organization of public utility. We are committed to work on current and emerging themes showing an impact on the general public, including environmental and climate issues amongst others.

 

Don't hesitate to contact us for more information on our ongoing or future projects for a sponsorship proposal, we will be delighted to meet you!
