The latter, due to particular physical, mental, family, economic, ethnic or social conditions, receive more support and consideration.

Requests for sponsorship and donations are received by the relevant departments through a dedicated platform with an online form published on Poste Italiane's institutional website and are then assessed by the Sponsorship and Liberal Donations Committee, which is chaired by an external Chair with high requirements of professionalism, honourableness and independence. Furthermore, in order to proceed with the disbursement of the contribution, an assessment is also made regarding the consistency of the initiative with the contractual content, the regular performance of the activities and the correct execution of the contractual obligations.
