5'1000: 10 years that changed multiple sclerosis research
The possibility of allocating its 5 × 1000 to research has led to a change of pace from 2006 to today. Here is what AISM and its FISM Foundation have been able to achieve. But there is still a lot, a lot, to do.
In 2006 AISM and its FISM Foundation allocated 1 to scientific research.7 million a year. In 2016 this figure, which means new life prospects for many people with MS, rose to 4.5 million euros. The gasoline that has transformed the "car" of research into a "jet" that travels at three times the speed is 5 x 1000: since it was introduced ten years ago, it has guaranteed the research that AISM promotes and directs no less than 45 million euros.
If we think that throughout its long history the Association has invested 61.3 million for research, we immediately understand the revolution that these contributions have brought about: three quarters of all AISM 'registered' research have found fertile ground in which to flourish thanks to the many Italians who have chosen AISM and its Foundation.
Allocating the 5×1000 is a voluntary and conscious gesture at no additional cost: by indicating the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Foundation in your tax return, you can change the history of scientific research.
To donate your 5X1000 to FISM, just remember two things while filling out the appropriate form, attached to the CUD supplementary model, to the Unico model or 730:
Your signature inside the box "Financing to scientific research institutions and universities".
