The Foundation “Korbgemeinschaft – Hilfe für Syrien” was granted tax deductibility status as of February 26, 2026.
For transfers to the foundation account, which was opened in 2016 when the foundation was formally established, please indicate the name of the account holder (recipient) simply as “Korbgemeinschaft”. We had this alias formally registered in connection with the EU-wide IBAN-payee verification procedure.
For a tax-deductible bank transfer to our donation account, the following information will suffice:
Account holder (recipient): Korbgemeinschaft
IBAN: AT94 2011 1828 5755 6000
Purpose: DD.MM.YYYY (it is best to write the date of birth in this format), first name and surname (as written in your IDs)
Any additional information regarding your E-mail or postal address will make it easier for us to send you a thank-you note for your donation.
If you wish, please feel free to also specify the donation purpose in more detail (e.g. bread, emergency help, medical help, social markets, …)
Bank transfers to our Austrian account made by German donors also meet the tax-deductibility requirements in Germany: Korbgemeinschaft is based in the EU, Korbgemeinschaft pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes in line with its statutes, and we are of course happy to issue a formal donation receipt or “confirmation of donation” in German language, as required.
Donors from other countries to our Austrian account who are interested in tax deductibility are kindly asked to clarify the prerequisites with their competent local tax authorities. Upon request, we will gladly provide confirmation of our non-profit status and donation receipts in accordance with formal requirements.
If you have – for tax deductibility purposes – so far made donations to us via the aid organization “Initiative Christlicher Orient” (ICO) in Austria and via Missio Munich in Germany, we kindly ask you to now carry out any transfers directly to our AT94 2011 1828 5755 6000 account. This will bring your support to us in a quick and uncomplicated manner.
We want to use this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to ICO and Missio Munich for their efforts in forwarding donations throughout many years. We remain closely connected in our prayers for the people in need. We also look forward to continuing our good cooperation with ICO and Missio Munich on the basis of individual charitable projects in Syria.
A special thank you to Erste Bank for managing our foundation account free of charge.
