Great question! As a “social enterprise” our model is designed to be self-sustaining, relying on institutional activities and public and private contributions. However, the life of an association is filled with challenges, making your support essential. If you’d like to contribute, you can help us increase our social and environmental impact through:

Donations: The easiest and quickest way to support us is by making a  donation. You can contribute via bank transfer or online. All donations are tax-deductible or eligible for tax credits according to the limits set by law, including for businesses.

5x1000: You can designate your 5x1000 to our social project by simply signing and including our tax code 92162650904 in your tax return under the section “Support for Third Sector Entities.”  You can make this donation even if you are not required to file a tax return.

Recycled materials: We are always in need of recycled materials like fabrics, leather, wood, bicycles, and other tools. If you have any surplus or production scrap, please feel free to reach out to us.
