— 04 / Receipts

Donation receipts and tax information

Democracy Forum e.V. is a German charitable association. On request, we issue an official donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestätigung) in accordance with the applicable German tax rules.

For individual donations of up to and including €300, a bank statement or equivalent proof of payment, together with our supplementary charity document, generally provides sufficient evidence for German tax purposes. The supplementary document contains information about our tax exemption, the charitable purpose and the classification of the payment as a donation.

For an individual donation exceeding €300, an official donation receipt is generally required as evidence when claiming a German tax deduction. We can also issue a receipt for smaller donations on request.

If you are subject to tax outside Germany, eligibility for tax relief depends on the rules and requirements of the relevant country. A German donation receipt does not automatically guarantee tax relief elsewhere.

Request a donation receipt

To request your receipt, email contact@democracy-forum.org with your full name, postal address, donation amount and payment date. This helps us identify your donation and issue your receipt.
