The donation platform for Latvian associations

Yes. Any association established in Latvia (biedrība, nodibinājums, religious organisation) creates its account, receives donations in euros by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Revolut Pay, and uses fundraisers, QR codes, ticketing and memberships: sports clubs, choirs, neighbourhood, parents' and animal welfare associations… The website and the app are available in English.

Nothing: €0 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 registration number (reģistrācijas numurs), 11 digits; a VAT number "LV…" has the same digits. Donoor finds your association by its name or number in the Register of Enterprises (Uzņēmumu reģistrs), copied every day, and verifies it straight away. An association registered that same day, one in liquidation, or another legal form (a trade union, for example), is checked by the Donoor team.

Bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link and Revolut Pay. SEPA Direct Debit can be switched on in your settings. Payment through Latvian online banking is not offered. Tap to Pay, contactless payment with a phone, is in beta with Stripe in Latvia.

Only if your association has public benefit status (sabiedriskā labuma organizācija). The donation then counts as one of the donor's eligible expenses: the tax authority normally refunds 25.5% of it, within a limit of €600 a year shared with their education and medical expenses. Without this status, a donation gives an individual no tax relief.

You apply to the Latvian tax authority (VID), which keeps the public register of public benefit organisations. Associations, foundations and religious organisations whose activity serves the public interest (charity, education, culture, sport, health, the environment…) can obtain it. Donoor reads the tax authority's list every day: as soon as your association is on it, its page says so automatically.

No: donors declare their donations to the tax authority themselves and attach proof of payment. They receive the confirmation e-mail of their donation, which serves as proof of payment. Donoor sends nothing to the tax authority.

Yes, ticketing and the shop stay open. Please note: in Latvia, a payment received on site (in cash or by card, so also with Tap to Pay) normally has to be recorded with a cash register. Donations are exempt, as are admission fees to a sports, cultural or leisure event; selling goods on site may require it. Donoor does not produce these receipts: for an on-site sale, check with your accountant or the tax authority (VID).

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. Religious organisations listed in the register are found by their number and verified straight away. Those with public benefit status give their donors the same tax relief.
