How you can help
It is our firm belief that only by investing in research can medical science focus on treating the underlying condition, not just its symptoms, thus ensuring that treatment is appropriately managed with a view to fulfilling the ultimate hope of curing Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome.
This is why we appeal to anyone who might be interested in donating - individual citizens, corporations, charitable trusts and others: your help is important to AISS - Associazione Italiana Sindrome di Shwachman.
If you are personally concerned, because you have a child with this syndrome, please contact us as soon as possible - it's so important for us to know how many families are involved, and get to know you all.
If you are not directly involved yourself but would like to give a hand as a volunteer, anything you can do to help will be truly welcome.
Perhaps you can invite us to activities taking place in your home area, so that we can talk to people about AISS and explain what we do.
Even if you can't dedicate time personally, but would like to do something for children with a disease as little known and difficult to treat as Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome, don't hesitate to make a small annual donation.

"Cinque per mille" ("5 X 1000")
What is "cinque per mille" ("5 x 1000")?
Any individual or corporate taxpayer in Italy can make a small part of their income tax (half a cent out of every euro) payable to an officially recognised non-profit organisation of their choice.
If I sign the "cinque per mille" box on my tax return, do I pay more tax?
NO.
The half-cent per euro comes out of your income tax. In other words, you can think of it as the taxman waiving that part of your tax bill and passing it on to the organisation named by you in your tax return.
And if I don't sign for the "cinque per mille"?
The taxman simply takes the total income tax payable.
How can I make my "cinque per mille" payable to AISS?
By signing the "cinque per mille" box on your tax return and indicating AISS's tax code: 92112250284.
Why choose AISS for my "cinque per mille"?
Your "cinque per mille" contribution will go towards funding our research projects.
Our tax code:
