Donors from Germany can donate tax-deductible funds to non-profit organisations abroad registered with us via Transnational Giving.

Feel free to contact us if your desired organisation is not yet included in the drop-down list in the form. This is merely a selection of the numerous non-profit organisations that are already registered in the TG programme.

Ways to donate

1. You can use the donation form directly online via:

• PayPal,
• Credit card,
• Instant bank transfer,
• Donate direct debit to the Maecenata Foundation or to any organisation registered in the Transnational Giving programme.

2. Bank Transfer

BIC: LOEB DEBB XXX
Bankhaus Löbbecke

Reference: ‘Name of the recipient organisation, [address of the donor for the donation confirmation].’

Important: Please always state the desired recipient organisation in the purpose of the transfer! If you would like to receive a donation receipt, please also state your address.

Donations are collected and disbursed to the recipient organization on a quarterly basis. We also provide the designated recipient organization with details about your donation (date the donation was received, donation amount, and the donor’s name and address), provided we have this information. Please also review our Privacy Policy for more information.

Earmarked donations, which you, as our donor, specify to be allocated to particular projects or purposes, are also exclusively used for those projects or purposes. If this is no longer possible—for example, because the designated organisation no longer exists or the specific project has already been fully financed or implemented—we reserve the right to use the relevant donations for as similar projects and purposes as possible. We point out our obligation to use received donations for charitable purposes in a timely manner, which means that after a lengthy period, a commitment to projects that have not yet been implemented or have only been partially carried out can no longer be maintained. In each individual case, we strive to allocate your donation to comparable projects and purposes. If you do not agree with this, we kindly ask you to include a note when transferring your donation.

Are you planning to make a larger donation? Please contact us personally in advance to guarantee a smooth process.

Donation receipt

Your donation through the Maecenata Foundation is tax deductible. If you provide us with your contact details, we will automatically issue donation receipt for you.

For donations up to € 300.00 (donations in 2020: up to € 200), a simple proof of donation is sufficient. You can download the simple donation declaration from the Maecenata Foundation here (in German). In order to save postage and administration costs, we ask you to make use of this option.

Donation transfer

The donations are collected and paid out quarterly to the recipient organisation. In doing so, we will also provide the recipient organisation with the details of your donation (date of receipt of the donation, amount, name, address) as far as we have them.
