Infante is sustained by people and companies that believe in sport, youth development and creating opportunities for everyone, including adaptive rowing. Your support helps us maintain boats and equipment, strengthen the safety and quality of training, and create the conditions for more athletes to start — and stay.
Where your support makes the greatest difference
- Youth training and support: equipment, logistics and support for competitions
- Acquisition and maintenance of boats, oars and ergometers
- Development of adaptive rowing and accessibility
- Organisation of club activities, training camps and events
If you are an individual
1) Become a member
The simplest and most continuous way to support Infante and become part of the club. For 2026, the membership fee is set at €2.00/month.
2) Make a donation, one-off or regular
You can support us with a monetary donation or an in-kind donation, such as sports equipment. For tax purposes, a “donation” presupposes that there are no commercial benefits in return.
Monetary donations may allow you to deduct 25% of the amount from your Personal Income Tax, generally up to 15% of the tax due, under the Portuguese Tax Benefits Statute.
3) Volunteering
As an athlete or member of the Club, you will take part in the club’s internal life and may support regattas, logistical activities, youth initiatives or specific areas of expertise, such as photography, design, maintenance, transport, among others.
If you are a company
1) Sponsorship, with visibility
Ideal for companies that want to associate their brand with sport and youth development, with benefits in return, such as brand presence on equipment, at events or in communications.
2) Patronage / donation, without benefits in return
A donation, or patronage, is a form of support especially used by companies when the intention is to contribute to Infante’s activity without commercial benefits in return, that is, without advertising obligations or provision of services. Portuguese Tax Benefits Statute, Article 61.
If an advertising benefit is agreed, for example mandatory brand presence, the support is treated as sponsorship, with the typical treatment of a provision of services and its own tax implications. Portuguese VAT Code, Article 4; and framework for benefits associated with donations: Portuguese Tax Benefits Statute, Article 64.
For registration/accounting purposes, Infante issues a donation receipt containing the legally required information. When a monetary donation exceeds €200, it must be made through an identifiable means, such as bank transfer, allowing the support to be associated with the patron. Portuguese Tax Benefits Statute, Article 66, paragraphs 1–3.
3) In-kind or service support
Provision of equipment, transport, maintenance, technical services or “human resources patronage”, such as the temporary provision of specific skills.
