Each spring, AILO awards and presents donations to its selected charities for that year on Donation Day. League members have the opportunity to nominate a charity from the Province of Florence to be a recipient of an AILO donation. All the nominated charities are visited and evaluated by our Donation Research team. The general membership then votes to determine which charities will be funded that year.
Have a charity you would like to sponsor? AILO members who have been with the league for one year at the moment of submission of the form may sponsor a charity. Each member has the option to submit and sponsor one charity per year.
Applications are to be submitted to the Donation Research Committee Chair and Co-Chair:

In recent years, the Comune of Florence has honored the League by allowing it to use one of the most important venues in Florence, the Salone dei Cinquecento in the Palazzo Vecchio for the Donation Day Ceremony. In May 2011, AILO was given the Leone Del Marzocco Award, one of the most prestigious awards given by the city.
Please feel free to review all previous recipients of our donations.
