ENDOWMENT FUND “Maryse Sabrié”
for the ancient and historical heritage
in the region of Narbonne
BECOME A PATRON OF THE CLOS DE LA LOMBARDE
France
has
an
exceptional
heritage
which
is
the
envy
of
many
other
countries
that
are
younger
and
wealthier
than
ours.
Unfortunately,
the
state budgets for the preservation and restoration of antique sites decrease year after year.
As
a
result,
corporate
and
private
patronage
is
growing.
Great
monuments
that
represent
the
glory
of
France,
like
the
Palace
of
Versailles,
owe their revival, their splendor and their success as a tourist attraction to these patrons.
We
would
like
to
establish
something
similar
for
the
Clos
de
la
Lombarde.
We
want
it
to
benefit
from
the
generosity
of
individuals
and
businesses
who
are
ready
to
show
their
interest
and
commitment
to
this
exceptional
archaeological
site
while
benefiting
from
advantageous tax provisions.
To
bring
this
ambition
to
life,
we
have
created
an
instrument
that
allows
this
generosity
to
be
expressed:
the
endowment
fund
"Maryse
Sabrié"
for
the
ancient
and
historical
heritage
of
the
region
of
Narbonne.
We
named
this
fund
to
pay
homage
to
the
great
lady
who,
alongside
her
husband
Raymond,
discovered
the
Clos
de
la
Lombarde,
excavated
it
for
many
decades,
participated
in
the
restoration
of
antique wall paintings to which she devoted her doctoral thesis.
This
endowment
fund,
a
legal
entity
under
French
law,
shares
the
values
and
objectives
of
our
association:
not
for
profit,
to
work
for
a
cause of general interest, the preservation and enhancement of our heritage, in particular the Clos de la Lombarde.
From
now
on,
you
as
a
private
individual
or
as
a
commercial
enterprise,
can
dedicate
a
portion
of
your
taxes
to
the
support
of
this
project.
To
do
this,
simply
make
a
donation
to
the
Maryse
Sabrié
fund.
In
return,
we
will
send
you
the
CERFA
receipt
with
which
you
can
claim
tax
benefits.
Become a patron of the Clos de la Lombarde!

2. Who created this fund ?
It was created by our association
3. How does the Fund work ?
The fund is managed by a Board of Directors of which our association is an ex-officio member. These directors
include people qualified in the subject matter of the fund. The fund is the recipient of donations for projects within
its field of activity. The Board of Directors chooses which project(s) is/are supported by the fund and determines
the level of financial participation of the fund in the project(s).
4. What will the fund's resources be ?
An initial allocation of € 15,000.00 required by law has been collected thanks to the generosity of the members of
our association and a financial contribution from the association. The fund receives donations and gifts of various
kinds granted by natural persons, legal entities, commercial enterprises, institutions, ... But the fund is by law
prohibited from receiving public funds.
5. What are the benefits for donors ?
In addition to the satisfaction of participating in the preservation and enhancement of the heritage in Narbonne,
donors enjoy tax benefits (Income tax: 66% of the donation amount up to the limit of 20% of taxable income,
company tax: 60% of donation amount up to 5% of turnover) - all these are currently restricted to
individuals/companies taxable in France.
Thus, a donation of € 100.00 from a donor subject to French income tax represents an actual cost of only €
34.00. The donors have the satisfaction of seeing a part of their taxes assigned to a project that is close to their
heart. If you are not taxable in France and would like to make a donation, please do not hesitate to contact us, so
we can discuss specific arrangements with you.
