With a Christmas donation, you enable us to fight alongside refugees and asylum seekers in Greece, Germany and the EU, challenge systematic human rights violations and work for the dignity and equality of our clients.

Christmas time is not only a religious fest, it is also a special family time. Most of our clients live under dire conditions which do not allow them to be with their families. Your contribution helps us to change this: Our work focuses on family reunification. We reunite family members staying in Greek camps with their loved ones in other EU countries and refugee children from camps in Eastern Africa and the Middle East with their parents in the EU.

Thank you for your lived solidarity and merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

Due to our values and principles, we do not accept donations from some industries. These include, among others, the arms and armaments industry and extractive industries (natural gas, oil, gold, diamonds, etc.). This also applies to foundations and associations that are close to or associated with the before-mentioned industries. If you are uncertain whether Equal Rights Beyond Borders can accept donations from your company, association or foundation, please contact us before making a donation. Thank you very much!

To make a gift donation to a friend, please use our donation form with the selection "Gift Donation". Enter the person's name and email and they will be notified of your gift with a gift donation certificate.

As soon as this is possible, we will inform you! However, please let us know about your interest today by sending an email to info@equal-rights.org.

Because we do not work with professional fundraising companies at Equal Rights Beyond Borders, 100% of your donations go to refugees and asylum seekers who are supported by our advocates and interpreters in their fight for dignity, equality and justice.

Equal Rights Beyond Borders does not receive government funding. Currently, the largest part of our funding is provided by private and public foundations and institutions, which you can find under our partners and supporters.

Currently, about 10% of our funding comes from individual donations and regular donations from supporting members. In order to become more independent and sustainable, we urgently need to raise more donations to pay salaries of lawyers and interpreters and sustain the work of our four offices in Greece and Germany.

If you would like to change the modalities of your supporting membership including the amount of your regular donation, or if you would like to cancel your donation to us, please send an e-mail to info@equal-rights.org.

Generally, we send out all donation receipts for a whole year in February of the following year. As regulated under German law, a donation receipt is only necessary as proof for the tax office if the annual amount donated exceeds €300. For amounts below this, your bank statement is sufficient. You can also use our "simplified donation receipt". In other countries, the regulations may differ.

When filling out the donation form, please make sure to indicate your wish for a donation receipt if you would like to receive one.

If you need your donation receipt sooner than February of the following year, please let us know. The contact address is info@equal-rights.org.

Supporting members allow Equal Rights Beyond Borders to become more independent and sustainable because we have more funding available for administration, public relations, staff costs and, above all, unforeseeable court and official costs.

As social and political changes take time, we depend on citizens and organisations to send a signal of solidarity with their regular contribution against systematic human rights violations in the EU.

Our supporting members help us, especially in the difficult conditions for NGOs in Greece, to carry out our work and fight for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. We won’t stop our legal work, even in the face of adversity, which is why we depend on citizens and organisations who donate more than just once.

We offer just about all possible payment methods. You can pay by direct debit, automatic bank transfer, credit card, or via PayPal.

If you would like to make a classic transfer, please use our donation account with the reference "donation":
