DONATING – SAFE AND EASY
With the Transnational Giving programme, the Maecenata Foundation supports a large number of charitable projects abroad through specific donations. Your donation through the Maecenata Foundation is tax deductible.
Here you can support your desired project, provided that we have already accepted it as a recipient of funds. You can find a selection of our funding projects here. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Donate online
The online donation is the easiest way to support the projects we support.
Bank transfer
You can use the following account for donations to the Maecenata Foundation and the projects supported in the Transnational Giving programme: Account holder: Maecenata Foundation
IBAN: DE89 1003 0500 1061 0007 01
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.
For donations in foreign currencies GBP, CHF and USD, please contact us first. Due to the bank fees incurred for donations in foreign currencies, this method is only advisable if the donation is higher.
FREE DONATION SHARE
To cover the expenditures and to further develop the network, part of the donation is retained as a free donation share: 5% of the first 100,000 EUR, then 1% up to a maximum of 50,000 EUR per donation (as of December 2020). Of this, the TGE network receives 1/5 and the two country partners involved each receive 2/5.
In the case of payments outside the SEPA area, any bank charges will be deducted from the donation. (For transfers to countries outside the euro area, different fees apply depending on the recipient bank.)
Donation receipts are issued for the full donation amount.
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. Here you can download the simple donation declaration from the Maecenata Foundation. In order to save postage and administration costs, we ask you to make use of this option.
