TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS

Thanks to our partnership agreement with “Transnational Giving Europe” (TGE), donors based in Switzerland receive a tax receipt for their donations to Champ’seed Foundation.

Our partner organisation in Switzerland is “Swiss Philanthropy Foundation”.

Please contact us after you have made the donation so that we can trace the payment.

In order to make a donation and receive a certificate of donation, please send an email to tge@swissphilanthropy.ch with the following information:

Name and country of suggested grantee: Fondation de Luxembourg
Specific program to be funded with the grant money: Champ’seed Foundation (under the aegis of Fondation de Luxembourg)
Amount of the grant and Currency of the grant
Your name
Your email address
Your residential address

After successful screening of the donor, Swiss Philanthropy Foundation will forward their bank details to you so you can proceed with your donation. Swiss Philanthropy Foundation has bank accounts in various currencies: Swiss franc, Euro, British pound and US dollar.

Only donations by bank transfer are accepted. The minimum amount accepted per donation is CHF 500 and the maximum amount is CHF 50’000. For donations in excess of CHF 50’000, an appointment will be arranged with Swiss Philanthropy Foundation in order to understand the donor’s philanthropic project and best advise him or her.

NON-TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS

Gifts of money for which you are not looking to get a tax receipt, or which do not qualify as a tax deductible donation, should be paid to the Junior Funding Program to serve the action of Champ’seed Foundation. Only gifts by bank transfer are accepted.

Non-qualifying Donations

Not all gifts qualify as tax deductible donations. Specified conditions must be met for gifts to be “a qualifying donation”; the essence of these rules is that gifts with associated benefits for the donor cannot provide tax relief.

Examples where gifts of money to Champ’seed Foundation do not qualify as tax deductible donations include the following situations:

– Typically our auction items do not qualify as a donation for tax credit purposes. Successful bidders will not receive tax relief for gifts of money.

– Costs of attendance to participate to our charitable events (e.g. our annual gala) do not qualify as a donation either. Event participants will therefore not receive tax relief for the payment of their costs of attendance.

– We are also unable to send certificates of donation for gifts below the minimum amount of GBP 250 in the UK or CHF 500 in Switzerland or EUR 1 000 in Spain, or in countries outside of Luxembourg, France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, the United States or Spain.

Junior Funding Program: the operating entity of Champ’seed Foundation

Junior Funding Program is a so-called “Association Loi 1901”, a non-profit organization created in France upon request of Fondation de Luxembourg with the goal to proceed with all relevant operations related to the activity of Champ’seed Foundation.

Donations paid for the benefit of Champ’seed Foundation are regularly paid out by Fondation de Luxembourg to Junior Funding Program (minus administrative fees of 5%).
