Spanish term

mecenazgo

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs
I know the literal translation is "patronage" but I wondered whether you thought that "donations" would be a better translation in this context:

"es una entidad sin fines lucrativos y se encuentra incluida entre las reguladas en el artículo 16 de la Ley 49/2002, de 23 de diciembre, de régimen fiscal de las entidades sin fines lucrativos y de los incentivos fiscales al mecenazgo."

It continues:

"SOLICITA
Que para ayudar a cumplir los fines estatuarios de la Fundación, solicita la colaboración de.................................................................................. Para este fin se destina la cantidad de .......................................euros (...........................€), que.........................., con NIF nº .............................., y domicilio en ........................................................................................., dona mediante cheque o transferencia bancaria a la cuenta ####/####/##/##########, de la entidad bancaria BBVA. En la misma se debe mencionar a “Año de la *****”. Dicha cantidad será con carácter de donación irrevocable."

Thanks!
agree translatol : ...although I think 'sponsorship' is good too. 'Charitable' is too restricted, because mecenazgo includes things like paying for art centres.

Just an idea... As soon as I read "patronage", I thought of "patrocinio", which is what we use in Panama, instead of "mecenazgo", which sounds weird to me =)
