Make a donation

A donation is a transfer to others of some element of heritage, without any advantage being incurred by the donor. The form most widely known is a cash donation, often in the form of a bank transfer. Subscriptions of various types, including to magazines, and transfers that give the right in return to an advantage for the donor, cannot be considered as donations.

An unconditional donation entitles the donor to tax relief, subject to certain conditions and in accordance with the tax legislation of the country concerned.
 
The King Baudouin Foundation can issue tax certificates in Belgium, the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, France and Denmark for donations made to Funds managed by the King Baudouin Foundation. 
Each of these countries has its own tax legislation. To find out how tax certificates are issued, click on your country of residence.

Donations of at least 40 euros a year to the King Baudouin Foundation give rise to tax relief of 45% of the amount actually paid, which is shown on the tax certificate issued by the Foundation. The grouped tax certificate for all donations made to or via the King Baudouin Foundation during the calendar year is sent at the end of February of the following year by post or e-mail (provided that the King Baudouin Foundation has the donor’s e-mail address).
In addition, the King Baudouin Foundation takes charge of forwarding all the information contained on the tax certificates to FPS Finance so that it can be included in private individuals and companies’ tax returns. However, if the donations do not appear on the tax return, the donor can enter them in the box provided. 
All the information on the tax reduction is available on the FPS Finance website.
