Support education with roots.
Our workshops are free for pupils, students and educational institutions. They are possible thanks to people who redirect 3.5% of their income tax, donate or sponsor. Below you will find every way to help, with concrete steps and the details you need.
Three ways to support us
Redirect 3.5% of your income tax
If you earn income from salaries or pensions in Romania, you can direct up to 3.5% of the income tax already withheld by the state to a nonprofit organisation. It costs you nothing: the money belongs to the state anyway, you only choose where part of it goes. Form 230 is filed by 25 May for the previous year's income and can remain valid for two consecutive years.
- 1Fill in the form online, in two minutes, directly on our site: your details, your signature on screen, done.
- 2Or download the PDF, fill it in, sign it and send it to us by email or by post to our registered office.
- 3We file it with ANAF (the Romanian tax authority) and keep proof of filing. You do not have to go anywhere.
Donate directly
A donation, however small, goes straight into the next workshop: materials, travel to communities outside Bucharest, the fees of invited specialists. We have no office or administrative staff costs. Send a bank transfer with the reference "donation" to the account below.

Sponsor us, as a company
Companies paying Romanian corporate income tax subtract the sponsorship directly from the tax owed, up to 0.75% of turnover and 20% of the corporate income tax (the lower ceiling applies). We sign a sponsorship contract and deliver an impact report with measured figures. Micro-enterprises no longer benefit from this facility since 2024, but can still sponsor as an expense.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Form 230 really cost me nothing?
- No. The 3.5% is part of the income tax you have already paid to the state through withholding. If you do not fill in the form, the amount stays in the state budget. If you do, the state transfers that share to the association you chose. Your net income does not change.
- Until when can I file Form 230?
- Until 25 May each year, for the previous year's income. We recommend sending it to us by 20 May so that we have time to file it with ANAF.
- Do I have to redo the form every year?
- Not necessarily. Form 230 has a box for the two-consecutive-years option. If you tick it, the redirection applies automatically the following year too.
- Can I donate as an individual and get a deduction?
- You can donate by bank transfer at any time. In Romania, individuals do not get a tax deduction for donations, but you can additionally use Form 230, which costs you nothing.
- My company is a micro-enterprise. Can I still subtract the sponsorship from tax?
- No. Since 1 January 2024, under Government Emergency Ordinance no. 115/2023, micro-enterprises can no longer subtract sponsorships from the micro-enterprise revenue tax. The facility remains available to companies paying corporate income tax.
- Do I get a receipt or a document for my donation?
- Yes. On request we issue a receipt or a donation contract, and for sponsorships we always sign a sponsorship contract and deliver an impact report.
