Stockcrowd helps to facilitate fiscal processes related to donation in a number of countries:

  1. United Kingdom: Stockcrowd has a connection with HMRC allowing donors to claim gift aid on their donations.

  2. USA: we include the parameters required by US legislation for the tax deductions.

  3. DACH: we include the parameters needed in Germany, Switzerland and Austria to emit the tax relief certificate.

  4. Spain: We automatically generate the donation certificate and in Scale and Premium plans help with the management and generation of the Modelo 182 form which non-profit organisations must send to Hacienda at the start of the year.

  5. Mexico: we have an integration with local invoicing companies that will stamp the receipts sent to the donors.

  6. Colombia: we include the parameters required by Colombian legislation for the tax relief certificate.

Stockcrowd has a donation certificate builder that allows you to create and edit the certificate as you need which allows us to adapt quickly to the needs of many countries.

In some cases, becoming compatible with local legislation is more complex as we need to have a connection with the tax office or local partner.

In the case, your country is not listed above do not hesitate to get in touch with our team so that we can look at the possibility of working there.

Accepting donations from abroad

To take advantage of financial incentives relating to their donations, donors must reside in the country where the non-profit's bank is located.

With Stockcrowd you can receive donations from any country, in the local currency and you will receive these donations in your bank with the currency exchange of the payment gateways which you are using.

In other words, your organisation will be able to receive donations from abroad however the donors will not be able to activate any financial incentives relating to their donation.

Tax relief for foreign donors

In the case that you wish to offer fiscal benefits to donors who reside outside of the country where your organisation is based, there is the option to work with bridge organisations.

These organisations collect the donation on your behalf, emit the donation certificate and then transfer the donation to the bank account of your organisation.

Stockcrowd has agreements with two organisations:

1- CAF America - for donors that live in the USA and Canada

2- Charities Trust - for donors that live in the UK

In both cases, your organisation will need to go through an accreditation process and once completed you can use Stockcrowd the payment gateway which they provide you in order to allow your donors to benefit from the fiscal benefits in their country.

If you would like to explore the above options in more detail write to us at [email protected] and we will put you in touch with CAF or Charities Trust and help you to set it up within our system.
