Donations to the Foundation from €40 per year or more from donors with a tax residence in Belgium give rise to a tax reduction of 45% on the actual amount deposited (art. 145/33 WIB). Your donations will be used to finance Wikimedia Belgium projects approved by the Fund.
Please preferably use the QR code as this enables the registration of the state registration number or company number needed to obtain a tax certificate. Donations can also be transferred to the account number IBAN: BE10 0000 0000 0404 in the name of the King Baudouin Foundation with the structured message ***019/1790/00048***. In this case, please provide separately your national register or company number once.
Both individuals and companies can make donations to support the Friends of Wikimedia Belgium Fund and enjoy tax benefits provided there is no quid pro quo. A special procedure exists for donations resulting from a campaign on the occasion of special events (marriage, anniversary, celebration), subject to prior agreement by the King Baudouin Foundation (and a special structured communication).
For inheritances, notarised gifts or government grants, we can refer to the Centre for Philanthropy of the KBS for free advice.
Projects
Wikimedia Belgium NPO is committed to supporting Free Knowledge within the broad framework and global objectives of the Wikimedia Foundation. By making a donation to the Friends of Wikimedia Belgium Fund, you will be supporting projects whose general objective is to support Free Knowledge in Belgium. Wikimedia Belgium organises, alone or in collaboration with other institutions, organizations, museums, libraries and archives, projects that promote Free Knowledge.
Wikimedia Belgium is committed to promoting free access to and sharing of all knowledge, particularly at the regional, federal and European levels; contributing to social and cultural issues related to free data and free knowledge; encouraging consultation and responsible contribution to Wikimedia projects through presentations, books or other media. Its main purpose is to encourage the collection, organisation, enrichment, indexing, cataloguing and making available of free knowledge.
In doing so, it can work with other institutions, organizations, government, and the general public to raise awareness of the importance of free licensing to ensure that human knowledge, heritage, and related intangible elements remain available to mankind forever. This includes digitizing, describing and inventorying heritage through photography, audio and video and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons.
Management Committee
Within the King Baudouin Foundation, a Board Committee of the Fund is set up, consisting of the Founders, a representative of the Foundation and an independent third party who chairs the Board Committee. The Fund's Board of Directors decides on the use of the Fund's resources. It approves the projects of the beneficiary Wikimedia Belgium NPO and fixes the amounts that the Fund will allocate to these projects. Wikimedia Belgium reports to the Fund on the use of the allocated funds.
