The donation certification
There are many private citizens who contribute to supporting the activities of DonK HM with a solidarity transfer. What we can do to thank them is to send them the so-called “Solidarity Certification” which allows you to deduct / deduct when paid in favor of a Third Sector entity and therefore have a tax saving.
Meetings in presence are starting again!
An important added value given by the association has always been the organization of meetings between volunteers and collaborators to be able to update on future opportunities, compare on critical issues and share experiences.
