Donation and fiscal receipt
A donation is the transfer of an item of property from one party to another, i.e., without any benefit for the donor. The best known way of doing this is a donation in cash, which often takes the form of a bank transfer.
Membership fees, subscriptions to journals and payments for which the donor receives a benefit in return consequently cannot be considered as a donation.
Belgian donors
Donations of 40 euros or more made via the King Baudouin Foundation give rise to a tax reduction of 45% of the amount actually paid and stated on the certificate issued by the Foundation.
The fiscal receipt for all your donations to the Foundation will be sent to you at the end of February of the following year, by post or e-mail (provided the Foundation has your e-mail address).
