How much does it cost?
- 8% + Stripe/PayPal transaction fee for online contributions.
- 10% fee for bank transfers/wire payments.
- 10% fee for tax deductible donations and grants

Are donations tax-deductible?

Donations from US citizens are tax-deductible. For European citizens, it depends on the country they reside in. Please get in touch to find out if a donation could be eligible.

Regarding the US, OC Europe has been certified as equivalent to Public Charity by NGOsource. U.S. funders, including private foundations, can treat a non-U.S. organization as equivalent to a U.S. public charity if the non-U.S. organization goes through the equivalency determination process.

We also have a Fund in the US that allows US citizens to make tax-deductible donations to your collective.
