DONATE
Wikimedia Spain is a non-profit association. We are supported by donations from individuals and organisations that make small or large contributions to protect free knowledge.
In 2021 our association was declared a public utility entity (*), so you could deduct your donations to Wikimedia Spain in your next income tax return.
- Donation certificates are sent the year following the donation.
- If you have not received your certificate by the end of March, please send an email to secretaria@wikimedia.es including your full name, ID number with letter (DNI), province, and the donation transfer receipt.
- Only individuals who pay taxes in Spain are eligible for the tax deduction.
- To ensure your donation is valid and deductible, you must include your full name, ID number with letter (DNI), and province in the transfer description.
- Important: Make sure your donation is made to Wikimedia Spain and not to the Wikimedia Foundation. Donations made to the latter are not deductible, as it is an entity based in the United States.
You can donate using any of the following methods.

(*) Entities eligible for patronage benefits allow those who support them—under specific conditions—to deduct a variable percentage of their contributions in their income tax return, depending on certain criteria.
- Monetary donations: The deduction base is the amount of the donation.
- Membership fees that do not grant the right to receive any present or future benefit: The deduction base is the amount of the fees.
Wikimedia Spain, as a public interest entity, is one of the beneficiaries of patronage incentives. The deductible concepts apply starting January 1, 2024, following the validation of Royal Decree-Law 6/2023 of December 19, which amended several articles of Law 49/2002 of December 23 on the tax regime for non-profit entities and tax incentives for patronage.
Deduction percentages are as follows:
- Deduction base up to €250: 80%
- Remaining deduction base (exceeding €250): 40%
- Increased rate for recurring donations to the same entity: 45% (applicable if donations of equal or greater value have been made for three consecutive years)
