BECOME A MEMBER

Become an ADS member and make real projects happen

Your monthly contribution supports our ongoing work on the ground. It keeps a well running, a hospital staffed and a school opening its doors every September.

From just €1 a month, you can be part of the change.

Why become a member?

Becoming a Fundación ADS member is the most direct way to be there. Your monthly contribution supports our work on the ground, keeps infrastructure running and helps us plan new projects where they are needed most.
 

Continuity matters

In international cooperation, projects that bring real change need time, presence and stable resources. Our members’ commitment lets us work with a long-term vision, instead of relying on one-off funding.

 

Be part of something bigger

Being a member also means joining a community of people who share one belief: sustainable development is possible when you work from real knowledge of the ground, together with communities, and with lasting solutions in mind.

Your generosity pays off

Since the 2024 update to Spain’s Patronage Law (Law 49/2002), supporting social causes is more rewarding than ever. These tax deductions apply to contributions made to organisations covered by that law’s special tax regime.

Fundación ADS is covered by Law 49/2002, so every donation you make to us qualifies for these benefits, whether you are an individual or a company. The Spanish State gives you back a large part of your contribution, through your personal income tax return (IRPF) or corporate tax.

How does tax relief work?

  • For individuals (personal income tax, IRPF):

    • Your first €250 get a deduction of 80%. So if you donate €250, the Tax Agency gives you back €200. Your donation will only have cost you €50!

    • Above €250, the rest of your donation gets a deduction of 40%.

    • Loyalty bonus: If you have donated to the same organisation for 3 years or more (the same amount or higher), the deduction on the higher band rises to 45%.

  • For companies (corporate tax):

    • The standard deduction is 40% of the total donated.

    • If your company is a loyal donor (3 years or more supporting us with the same amount or higher), the deduction rises to 50%.

To apply the deduction, we need your Spanish tax ID (NIF). We use it to send you the certificate and report your donation to the Spanish Tax Agency.
