Charities Aid Foundation – is a non-commercial organisation committed to efficient giving. We work to raise the profile of giving, lobby for tax breaks and provide an increasingly broad suite of services to charities and their supporters.
Leaders of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Russia say recently passed tax legislation signals the government’s formal recognition of the important role that NGOs play in Russian society.
“For many years, nothing changed in the legislation and it seemed so hopeless. But here we are now seeing results, so there is progress,” said Maria Chertok, director of Charities Aid Foundation Russia.
She and other Mott grantees discuss recent Russian tax law changes that affect individuals and NGOs. They also outline what still needs to be done legislatively to give Russian businesses incentives to donate to NGOs.
