=> deadline in sponsorship brochure? > 2) Swiss companies did not donate so much money. => it is more important than ever to understand the VAT issue for foreign sponsors - also consider letting foreign companies make Euro or USD sponshorship or donations to local entities (e.g. SPI in the US)? Many smaller US companies have to make a big effort to send money abroad, it is not all done through Internet banking like in Europe. > 3) none of the the Swiss foundations contacted replied.
