• Fundraising and Donations activities / partnerships

CERN has put in place a dedicated service for fundraising activities. The CERN Partnerships & Fundraising Section is in charge of developing and implementing CERN's fundraising strategy and of ensuring coordination of fundraising undertaken at or on behalf of CERN  and the CERN & Society Foundation. This Partnerships & Fundraising Section raises funds on behalf of and provides administrative support to the CERN & Society Foundation.

Fundraising includes solicitations as well as receipt of support such as donations, grants and sponsorship whether in cash or in-kind. In particular:

• Donations: involve irrevocable charitable contributions given with no expectation of benefit to the donor
• Grants: involve contributions from trusts, foundations or other organisations, typically pursuant to an agreement with CERN with no expectation of tangible benefit to the grant-making body
• Sponsorships: involve transactions pursuant to an agreement with CERN, whereby benefit with a measurable market value is granted in return for financial and material consideration.

CERN is committed to transparency in its activities, including fundraising. For this reason, policies have been developed to regulate fundraising at CERN. For more information please consult the Giving to CERN Policies page.

The role of FAP-RPC-BA is to ensure the appropriate financial structure in connection with Partnerships & Fundraising.
