Is your donation tax-deductible?
It might be! If the organization you’re donating to is registered in your country, you could receive a tax-deductible receipt. Here’s how to know for sure.
What does it mean to make a tax-deductible donation?
When you make a tax-deductible donation, you’re giving to a registered nonprofit or other tax-exempt organization—and you might be able to claim that donation on your tax return. It’s a great way to support a cause you care about and possibly save on taxes.
Just remember: tax rules vary depending on where you live, so be sure to check your local tax guidelines or speak with a tax advisor for the most accurate information.
When is a donation tax-deductible?
You can only receive a valid tax-deductible receipt if the organization you’re donating to has a registered legal entity in the country where you live and pay taxes.
Some nonprofits are registered in more than one country, which means they may be able to issue valid receipts for donors in those countries too.
If you’re unsure, we recommend reaching out to the organization directly using the contact info on their campaign page—or feel free to email us at support@charidy.com, and we’ll help you out!
What’s the difference between legal entity status and the currency in which you make a donation?
Great question! Some campaigns accept donations in multiple currencies, but that doesn’t always mean they have a legal presence in each of those countries.
For example, a campaign may collect USD and EUR, but only be registered as a nonprofit in the U.S. That means only U.S.-based donors would receive a tax-deductible receipt.
If you’re unsure whether your donation qualifies, it’s best to double-check with the organization or contact us at support@charidy.com.
