Fundatia ADEPT is registered as a charity in the UK (reg. no. 1121371) and therefore UK donations are eligible for tax relief under Gift Aid. The form that you need to complete for this simple process can be downloaded here and returned together with your donation.
UK: Donating through your UK tax return
Since April 2004 people who complete a UK Self assessment tax return have been able to nominate a charity to receive all or part of any repayment due to them. IR Charities publish a list of participating charities from which donors can choose. 
Romania: Donating through your Romanian tax return
Linked to your annual Romanian tax return, you have the opportunity to direct 2% of your taxes for nature conservation, and for protecting Romania’s precious traditional landscapes.This kind of sponsorship does not mean that you are donating money, rather that you are redirecting to a non-profit organization part of the tax you have already paid to the state.
We ask that you consider directing this sum to support the activities of Fundatia ADEPT. You have until 15 May each year to complete and submit the form.
There are two possible methods of contribution - from salary income (Declaration 230) and from income from other sources (Declaration 200).
The forms that you need to complete for this simple process, and instructions, can be downloaded here,

Give your support to specific projects
Your donation can, if you wish, be directed to specific ADEPT activities: you will receive a photograph and periodical reports. These include for example:- purchase of micro-reserves of Transylvanian wildflower-rich grassland of exceptional biodiversity importance
- preparation and equipping of micro-scale cheese-making units for community use
- schools education materials, including books and activities such as creating nature gardens near the schools
- small community projects such as tree-planting.
Fundatia ADEPT is working in applied research in biodiversity conservation; working with farmers to help defend the long term survival of traditional small-scale communities; working with regional, local and central government to promote helpful policies; and working with other NGOs, community groups and the general public to spread the word about the social, cultural and biodiversity importance of these landscapes and their communities.
What is important about the area?
This is one of the last great European landscapes, a mosaic of rich habitats and rare animal and plant species including some of the finest wildflower-rich grasslands in Europe. The landscape is still a functioning ecology, man and nature in balance. This low-intensity sustainable agriculture is under threat, although it is increasingly relevant as a model in the world today. Only through the farmer and his continued management can this landscape be conserved.
