Make your donation a blessing for Israel and the Jewish people!

Of course. As a donor, you will automatically receive a donation receipt from us. We send all collective donation receipts by mail at the beginning of the year and again a few weeks after the end of the year.

The association "Christians on the Side of Israel" (Christen an der Seite Israels e.V.) is registered with the Stuttgart District Court under association registration number 725413. The association is recognized by the Böblingen tax office as a non-profit and charitable organization (tax number: 56002/44878) and is authorized to issue donation receipts for monetary donations. These receipts can be submitted with your income tax return and deducted from your taxes.

It depends entirely on the purpose of your donation. If you donated for a specific purpose, your donation will be used for that purpose. If you selected the "General" donation category, your donation will support our work 100%, and we will use it freely, depending on where it is most needed.

Of course. However, depending on the payment method you choose, we may incur slightly higher transaction fees. This is the case, for example, with American credit cards like American Express. Nevertheless, your donation receipt will show the full donation amount without any deductions for transaction fees.

Depending on the payment method you choose, the transaction fees we incur, which we cover from your donation, will vary. The most cost-effective payment methods are bank transfer and direct debit, as neither incurs any transaction fees. Your donation receipt will always show the full donation amount without any deductions for transaction fees.

The following fees apply to the other payment methods:

PayPal:

1.5% of the donation amount plus a fixed fee of €0.35

Visa/Mastercard (via the payment service provider Stripe):

1.2% of the donation amount plus a €0.25 fixed fee for payments within Europe

2.9% of the donation amount plus a €0.25 fixed fee for payments outside Europe

American Express (via the payment service provider Stripe):

2.9% of the donation amount plus a fixed fee of €0.25
