Note on donation receipts

When will you receive your donation receipt / donation confirmation? - Automatic donation receipt:

Important note in advance:

During and after a disaster operation, we ask for your understanding that donation receipts cannot be issued and sent immediately. This is due to the fact that our full-time staff are also fully involved in the operation during this time.
Please be patient and trust us - we will send you the confirmation as soon as possible.

I.S.A.R. Germany Stiftung gGmbH is recognised by the tax office as a non-profit organisation and is exempt from corporation tax, so you can deduct donations to us from your tax bill.

We will automatically send you a separate donation receipt for the tax office for donations of 50 euros or more.
We confirm that your donation will be used for tax-privileged purposes in the sense of §§ 51ff AO,
resp. §§ 60a para. 1 AO is used.
We can also issue donation receipts for donations under 50 euros on request - please contact us.

Individual donors will receive a donation receipt from us in the course of the year. Donors who make regular donations (sponsors) automatically receive a collective donation receipt in January of the following year.
Of course, we can also issue individual donation receipts on request - please contact us.

We are only allowed to send donation receipts by post, not by e-mail. Therefore, please remember to include your address, especially as this must also be listed on the donation receipt for the tax office.

Please note the following information before making your donation if you would like a donation receipt for the current year for your donation in December.

Donations by direct debit which will be sent to us by direct debit from 28 December, 10:00 am,
will unfortunately only be credited to our account in the first week of January of the following year.
Accordingly, these donations can only be claimed for tax purposes in the following year.

Credit card donations will be credited to us seven days after your donation.
For this reason, donation receipts for donations made after 24 December can only be issued in the new year - with a receipt date for the following year.
If you would like a receipt for the current year, you can request one up to and including 30 December by PayPal or
Instant bank transfer donate.

Thank you very much for your understanding!
