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.

Donations of 40 euros or more made to the King Baudouin Foundation, are entitled to a tax deduction of 45% on the amount effectively transferred and this is recorded on the tax certificate issued by the King Baudouin Foundation.

The tax certificate relating to all of the donations you may have made to the King Baudouin Foundation during a given year is issued during February of the following year. Given the growing number of requests from our donors, and with a concern for ecology, we now only send out receipts for donations of 1,000 euros or more.

You can make two types of donations:

• a donation to the King Baudouin Foundation, which is then free to allocate the money to achieving its general objectives. This can be done through a classic bank transfer to our account IBAN BE10 0000 0000 0404 BIC BPOTBEB1. You can also make a particular donation to benefit one of the Foundation’s themes or specific projects;
• or you can make a donation to a specific project account or Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation. This too can be done through a classic bank transfer to our account IBAN BE10 0000 0000 0404 BIC BPOTBEB1, marking your transfer with the details of the structured communication or the name of the Fund.

You can also make an online donation, using the ‘search’ function to find the fund or project account of your choice and then simply click on the link ‘Make a donation’. You will see a special form adapted to the relative fund or project account.

For all online donations, the King Baudouin Foundation works together with an external partner (Ingenico Payment Services), which guarantees your data protection rights as well as the security of all your data encoded in relation to the transaction. s), ce qui garantit le respect de votre vie privée ainsi que la sécurité de l’encodage de toutes vos données servant à la transaction.
