The donation platform for Cypriot associations

Yes. Any association established in the Republic of Cyprus (σωματείο, ίδρυμα, federation, non-profit company) creates its account, takes donations in euros by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Revolut Pay, and uses fundraisers, QR codes, ticketing and memberships: sports clubs, cultural associations, parents', neighbourhood, solidarity or animal welfare associations…

Nothing: no subscription and 0% Donoor commission. Only Stripe's fees apply, for example 1.5% + €0.25 for a donation by European card, and your donors can choose to cover them.

By its tax number, the TIC (Tax Identification Code, ΑΦΤ): 8 digits followed by a letter; a VAT number « CY… » contains the same number. Every Cypriot association or foundation must register in the tax register: your TIC appears on the Tax Department's registration letter and in your Tax For All account. Our team checks your number and your legal form (σωματείο, ίδρυμα, federation…) and may ask you for your association's registration certificate. Your public page opens as soon as it has been checked.

Bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link and Revolut Pay. SEPA Direct Debit can be switched on in your settings. Tap to Pay, contactless payment with a phone, is in beta with Stripe in Cyprus.

Only if your association is a charitable institution approved by the Ministry of Finance (Tax Department list): their donations are then normally deducted from their taxable income, with no upper limit. For an association, a foundation or a federation that is not approved, there is no tax benefit.

Donors enter their donations in their income tax return and keep their receipt: the Tax Department may ask for it. They receive Donoor's confirmation email, with your association's name, the date and the amount; you can also give them a receipt from your association.

In Cyprus, Law 68(I)/2014 requires a licence for any appeal to the public to give money (έρανος) for a charitable, religious, environmental or animal-welfare cause, including an appeal made online or by email. It is requested at least 30 days in advance from your District Administration, or from the Ministry of Interior for the whole island. Collections inside places of worship are not covered. Donoor blocks nothing: before launching a public appeal for donations, check with your district or a lawyer.

Yes, ticketing and the shop are open: tickets, membership fees and items are paid online. Take care if your association is an approved charitable institution: the approval conditions only allow occasional sales (bazaar, event), not a permanent shop, even online. Your accounting and tax obligations remain those of your association: if in doubt, check with your accountant.

To your association's Stripe account, then to its bank account, in euros. Donoor never holds the funds.

Yes, like any association: donations by card, Revolut Pay and QR codes. If it is on the list of approved charitable institutions, its donors get the same tax deduction.
