Since the period is conducive to good resolutions, let’s make that of going to the theater more often and above all of bringing the theater to an audience that never goes there. A mission that Benjamin Mondou has been working on for seven years with the Passionnément TNN entrepreneurs club, which in 2022 became the Passionnément Théâtre National de Nice endowment fund. The objective is to support its actions of general interest as widely as possible.
Co-financing
Donations from its approximately 300 patrons, entrepreneurs and individuals alike, finance free shows to make culture accessible to all. “The Endowment Fund donated €100k to the theater”assures its president who is also manager of around ten Century 21 Lafage Transactions real estate agencies.
This sum made it possible to co-produce and organize around twenty trips to middle schools, retirement homes, hospitals, homes for disabled people, etc. They are in addition to regular performances such as The Trials of the Great Characters organized every on Saturdays in Nice, Les Contes d’Apéro in the summer on the Coulée verte, oral lessons, the Marivaux Festival, the magic festival or the educational project “Letters to… me later” to name a few. some.
“Muriel Mayette-Holtz, the director of TNN, is full of projects that must be financed”, smiles Benjamin Mondou who gives one day a week to the Passionnément TNN Endowment Fund. Hence his call for more and more patrons.
“The advantage of the endowment fund is that it allows individuals to have a tax deduction of around 66% of the amount of payments, within the limit of 20% of taxable income for individuals. It is 60 % for companies within the limit of 0.5% of turnover excluding tax.” Depending on their donations, patrons will be able to attend up to five performances given by the Théâtre de Nice troupe.
