Donations and sponsorship

You can make your donation to
ABN AMRO Bank, account number:
IBAN code: NL29ABNA0431292981
SWIFT/BIC code: ABNANL2A
Tara Stichting/Foundation in Balkbrug, The Netherlands.

+From Europe (only EU-countries) you can make a costless SEPA-booking with these details.
+From other countries you need the same details, but then there will be some bankcosts.

• We kindly ask you to arrange your payment yourself with your bank.
• Your donation is tax deductible. The Tara Foundation has the ANBI quality sign of the Dutch Administration.
• The executive committee of the Tara Foundation pays all expenses of the foundation herself. Every euro of your donation is for the intended target. *
• Please specify clearly the purpose for which your donation is intended. If no goal is indicated, the Tara Foundation will use your donation where it is needed most at that moment.
• You can support any general objective you want (from € 5, - per month)! All goals are greatly helped when sponsored on a regularly base!
• The minimum sponsorship of one (child) monk or nun is 15 euro per month. If you find it hard to support just one monk or nun, you can choose to support the monastery. For example the (child) monks of Gaden Jangtse Tsawa Khangsten or the nuns of Khachoe Ghakyil Ling. This is already possible from 5 euro per month!
• Sponsors and contributors usually receive an annual letter of thanks from the monastery or from the sponsored monk or nun, who will also do prayers for the well-being of the sponsor. For this reason we as a rule provide your name and address to the monasteries. In case you'd rather not have us do that, please let us know and your donation will remain anonymous or without address.
  
  
• Since a couple of years, individually sponsored monks have to pay the total fee for international money transfer, charged them by the Indian bank. In view of the large number of monks we cannot longer reimburse them for this. We will however continue to do so for all collective goals and sponsoring.
