Giving from Europe

If you would like to donate tax-efficiently to Gordonstoun and live in Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia or Switzerland, you can donate through your national Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) partner who will transfer the gift to Gordonstoun, providing all the national financial advantages, such as income tax deductibility, to you.

If you live in a European country not listed above and would like to donate, please go to our Giving from the Rest of the World page.

Transnational Giving Europe is, at European level, the only existing practical solution to support a beneficiary located in a foreign country with all the tax advantages in the country of residence of the donor. The countries listed above participate in the scheme, as does the UK.

TGE enables donors resident in one of the participating countries to support charitable organisations in other member countries, while benefiting directly from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence. Both the donor and beneficiary need to be based within this group of countries.

Thanks to TGE, fundraising organisations can ensure income tax deductible gifts for their foreign donors and launch tax efficient fundraising campaigns in other TGE countries.

Vist the Transnational Giving Europe website.
