• You can make either one-off or regular monthly donations.
• We offer multiple payment methods but encourage donors to use direct debit by default since the fees are low and we can track payments with less effort. For larger donations (over 5000 USD) we recommend bank transfers.

1. Registration: Choose the bank transfer option in the form. You will see the transfer instructions in the last step, which you will also receive via email.
2. Transfer: Make the transfer using the reference code specified in the instructions.
3. Confirmation: You will receive an email from us confirming receipt of the transfer at the latest five weeks after we receive your payment.

Currently, we can offer tax-deductible donations in the following countries:

• Donors from the UK can claim Gift Aid on donations to CLR directly through the form above
• Donors in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands can make tax-deductible donations through the form above. Such donations are made through our partner organisation Effective Altruism Foundation.
  • Detailed tax-deductibility information for such donors can be found on these pages for donors in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands respectively.
  • Donors in Switzerland wishing to make donations via bank transfer in CHF (rather than via credit card or direct debit) can support us via effektiveraltruismus.de. Such donations are received by Effektiv Spenden Schweiz, a Swiss charitable association which collects donations on our behalf.
• Donors in the USA can support us tax-deductibly through the Giving What We Can platform (CLR, CLR Fund).

If applicable, you will receive a tax receipt by the organization on whose accounts you have donated. For the countries mentioned above, these organizations are:

• UK: Center on Long-term Risk
• Germany, the Netherlands: EAF
• Switzerland: EAF or Effektiv Spenden Schweiz
• US: Effective Ventures (Giving What We Can)

If you have questions about your tax receipt, you can contact the organization in question directly.

CLR and EAF send a single receipt via email at the beginning of the relevant tax year, which includes all your donations in the preceding year, as long as your donations totaled at least 100.– and were made directly to CLR or EAF. We can only issue receipts if all fields in the registration form—including the address field—were filled out.

• For donations from UK donors, the relevant tax year runs from April to March. If you don't get your receipt by the end of April, contact us.
• For donors in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, the tax year runs from January to December. If you don't get your receipt by the end of January, contact us.

Donation receipts are issued in the name of the account holder from which the donation is made.  Keep in mind that a donation is included in a given year if we receive the donation in that year, independently of when you make the transfer. Please keep this in mind for donations via bank transfer made soon before the end of the tax year, since they could reach our accounts after the year boundary.

If you choose to donate with, CLR will claim an additional 25% on the value of your donation from the UK government, reclaiming taxes that you paid/will pay. You can read details about this on the government website here. There is also a useful post about Gift Aid and UK income tax here.

To be eligible for Gift Aid, you must confirm that you are a UK taxpayer, and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations, it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

If you believe you are no longer eligible for Gift Aid, or would like us to stop claiming Gift Aid on your recurring donation, please contact us at info@longtermrisk.org.
