Dear friends, the children need your help. Every little contribution counts no matter how insignificant a value it may seem to you, no donation is to small, every donation can & will make a difference. If you wish to make a donation, you can transfer money directly to the bank account of the Foundation Save A Russian Child.

GIRO 696000, Stichting Red een Russisch Kind, Amsterdam

You can also make a donation on-line using your credit card:

Click here and enter the amount. Please be sure the amount you enter reflects your intent. For example, if you intend to donate 50 EUR, enter the amount including the cents after the dot: 50.00

This gift can be partly returned by the Dutch Tax Authorities (see section "Taxation" below on this page).
Each sum remitted to the foundation account can be automatically visualized on our 'on-line' administration. This way you always have a current view of the funds we are receiving.
Donations can be addressed to a specific child or can be designated to a "common pot". In the second case the donation received will either be equally distributed among the children or alternatively be used for the child who is the most in need at that very moment.
When transferring your donation by bank draft, you can specify in the column "Description" the name of the child to whom you designate the gift.

On request we can send a regular report by e-mail updating you on the child's progress & condition.

The Foundation Save a Russian Child (Stichting Red een Russisch Kind) is an official registered charity which is registered with the Dutch Tax Authorities within the meaning of the law ‘Successiewet 1956’ (article 24 sub 4) and also is classified as an Entity with General Benefit Objectives (ANBI) in accordance with the article 6.33 of 'Income Tax Law 2001' under registration no. 8096.80.257.
Donations to this organization are tax deductible and can be therefore attractive.

Tax deductions
Donations/gifts to the foundation can be made in different ways, varying from a simple one off bank transfer to regular payments on a long-term basis authorized by a notary. Such gifts are tax deductible.

Donation/gifts
All contributions to Foundation Save a Russian Child are in principal tax deductible. You can register your donation in the Annual Tax return under the 'Gifts' section. Tax is deductible only on gifts that are above a certain threshold level. This threshold level depends on your total annual income (gross). If the overall amount of the donations you have made in one year is more than 1% of your total annual income (minimum value of 60 EUR), you can deduct tax on the amount above the threshold. Tax is deductible for a gift up to 10% of your annual income.

Example calculation
Say your total annual income is 20.000 EUR. You make a donation of 600 EUR to Foundation Save a Russian Child. The amount eligible to be deducted for Tax purposes is calculated as follows:
600 EUR - 200 EUR (1% of 20.000 EUR) = 400 EUR.

Documentary proof
You must always keep documentary proof of the gifts you have made, such as receipts or bank statements.

Notarial document

Gifts/donations can be fully deducted if the payments over a long-term basis are authorized by a notary. Such payments must be made at least once a year over a period of 5 years or more. There is no minimum or maximum threshold for such gifts/donations.
The government encourages giving to charity through this method. The amount you wish to contribute is then fixed in a notarial document. You can also state in the notarial document the purpose to which your gift may be directed.

Costs of a Notarial document
Upon request Foundation Save a Russian Child can arrange for a notarial document to be drawn up at no cost to you. We can take it out of your hands because we have agreed a special rate with our notary. Of course you are welcome to discuss it with your own notary. He/she can give you personal advice, so that you can be confident that your contribution will be used in the proper way.
