Donations to the PFS Foundation are deductible

General Discussion

If you are wondering about donating to the PFS foundation, remember that in most countries you will receive back part of your donation when you do your yearly tax statement.

For example in Spain, for any donation you do to non-profit associations until 150 euros, you will receive back a 75% of such amount the following year (it will be deducted).

When you have donated more than 150 euros, then you will receive back 30% of the amount surpassing 150 euros the next year (when you do the tax statement).

So no, it is not technically the same spending hundreds on the PFS foundation and spending hundreds on useless supplements. At least in one of these two options you have part of your money back.

Wow, 75% back is incredible.

Does anyone know what the UK equivalent is?

I really don’t understand why these kind of quips are necessary, but I see them all the time, and they are largely one way (from people who don’t benefit or believe in supplements against those who use them). What’s it to you, what someone else does with their money, honestly?

Donating to the foundation for future research and using supplements for immediate relief are not mutually exclusive, you know.

The only reason I am making this comment is because if one thing has been constantly said by many of the advocates of the supplements to cure PFS is that research will take too long.

I now that some people buy supplements and donate to the PFS foundation, but this was just a way to answer those who underestimate research.

Yes they are so donating is practical in many ways. I’m doing a summer fundraising drive on a topic of mine (check my post history) where my goal is to raise $2000 this summer.

Donate to the cause to make things move. I wish I would’ve spent the thousands of dollars I wasted at doctors on research instead, because that’s more likely to yield me back my full health.
