Different Pathways. One Shared Legacy
The three pathways are intentionally different: individuals are invited to belong and participate; industry is invited to combine support with capability; institutions are invited to collaborate around shared objectives. All three lead into the same Foundation programs and the same reporting framework.

Turn support into practical action.

Donations support work across Community, Culture & Identity and Sustainable Futures, helping the Foundation bring together the people, organisations and resources needed to create lasting progress.

Foundation Community
Belong to the Foundation throughout the year.
The Foundation Community is designed for individuals and families who want a closer, continuing relationship with the Ricardo Ibarretxe Foundation. Annual support helps sustain the Foundation's work while giving members access to selected events and activities, including the annual football event and the Ricardo Ibarretxe Benefit Gala, regular updates on the Foundation's work, and opportunities to contribute ideas or submit an article for editorial consideration. It is a way to support the mission, participate in its life and stay connected to the people carrying it forward.

Sponsorship Programme
A structured route for business and institutional support.
The Sponsorship Programme offers companies and institutions a clear way to support the Foundation's work through programme, project and event partnerships. Support may combine funding with expertise, employee engagement or in-kind contribution. In return, the Foundation can provide proportionate recognition, access to relevant events and opportunities to engage with the work being supported. The objective is not visibility alone, but a credible partnership that creates value for communities and is supported by clear reporting on outputs and outcomes.

Ricardo Ibarretxe Awards
Recognising values expressed through action.
The Ricardo Ibarretxe Awards will recognise people and organisations whose work reflects the values at the heart of the Foundation and creates lasting value for communities. The Awards should celebrate contribution, leadership and collaboration, while giving wider visibility to examples that others can learn from. In this way, recognition becomes part of the Foundation's mission: preserving Ricardo Ibarretxe's values by showing how they remain relevant in action today.

Ricardo Ibarretxe Scholarships
Opening opportunities for future generations.
The Ricardo Ibarretxe Scholarships will support opportunities for learning, study, exchange or personal development where targeted support can make a meaningful difference. The programme should connect the Foundation's commitment to future generations with transparent selection criteria and a clear link between the opportunity provided and the values the Foundation seeks to carry forward.

Ricardo Ibarretxe Benefit Gala
An annual moment to gather, recognise and renew support.
The Ricardo Ibarretxe Benefit Gala will bring together the Foundation's community, partners and supporters to celebrate the year's work and help fund what comes next. It can provide a natural setting to recognise Award recipients, present Scholarship recipients, share programme results and thank the people and organisations that make the Foundation's work possible. More than a fundraising dinner, the Gala should become a recurring annual expression of the Foundation's legacy, relationships and future ambition.
