If you pay tax in Romania

You can give without spending a leu

These two options apply to people and companies that pay tax in Romania. The forms and guides are in Romanian.

Individuals

Redirect 3.5% of your income tax

It’s part of the tax you have already paid, so it costs you nothing — if you don’t redirect it, it stays with the state. Employees use Form 230; the self-employed use the Single Declaration (Form 212). You can choose one organisation per year.

Steps and form (in Romanian) →

Companies

Sponsor us and deduct it from profit tax

With a sponsorship contract, up to 20% of a company’s profit tax can go to the association instead of the state, capped at 0.75% of turnover. A plain donation without a contract is not deductible, and since 2024 microenterprises can no longer deduct sponsorship.

This is not tax advice. Romanian rules change often — ask your accountant about your own situation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you give

Can I donate from outside Romania?

Yes. You can pay by card (RON, EUR or USD), send money through PayPal or Revolut, or make a bank transfer to our EUR, USD or RON account.

Which currency should I use?

EUR or USD if you can — we hold accounts in both, so your gift arrives in the currency you sent. Where you can, pick the account in your own currency to avoid an extra conversion.

The card form is in Romanian. Is it safe?

The form is hosted by EuPlătesc, a Romanian payment service. Your card details are entered on their page — they don’t pass through us and we don’t store them. The glossary above the form explains each field.

What happens if I choose a monthly gift?

Choose “LUNAR” (monthly) and pick how many months, from 2 to 24. Choose “DOAR O DATA” for a single gift. The form opens with monthly pre-selected, so check it before you pay.

Can I choose where my gift goes?

Yes. Write the name of the project or case in the “Payment details” field of a bank transfer, or in the message of a Revolut payment.

Is my gift tax-deductible in my country?

Tax rules for gifts to a foreign non-profit depend on where you live, and we can’t give tax advice. Our legal details are on this page, and you’re welcome to write to us with questions.

Can I give goods or services, or volunteer?

Yes. The association can use non-perishable food, hygiene products and winter boots, as well as services such as transport, printing, IT and legal help. Write to us and tell us what you can offer.
