Every country has his own Fundraising / Donation regulations
e.g. see the swiss regulations:
Philanthropy and community service are integral to Swiss society, with the third sector contributing to the country’s economic and social well-being. Donations are supported by favorable tax laws: private donors can deduct donations of 100 francs or more, up to 20% of their income, while businesses can deduct up to 20% of their net profit.
However, sponsoring does not fall under this rule. In addition to monetary donations, donations in kind have also been tax-deductible since 2006. The decisive factor here is the current market value. Volunteering and honorary positions cannot be deducted from taxes in Switzerland.
However, there are already people and groups who are campaigning for a corresponding regulation: volunteers should be able to claim a kind of expense allowance in their tax returns. The exact tax regulations on donations in Switzerland change every year and vary from canton to canton. Fundraising in Switzerland is subject to legal regulations, which differ slightly from canton to canton.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development:
We all know that we face big challenges in today’s world: poverty, hunger, inequality and climate change are just some of the issues we need to address urgently.
Big challenges need bold action to overcome them, and that is where the Global Goals come in. They are a plan agreed to by all world leaders to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030, and we all have a role in achieving them.
Abroadify as an organization intends to close these gaps – just to make our world better!
In 2025, the Social Taxonomy from the EU:
The EU Social Taxonomy expands the sustainability agenda to include social criteria. It focuses on decent working conditions, equality, health, and social security. The goal is to make investments more socially sustainable by emphasizing issues like human rights and equal opportunities. The Social Taxonomy complements the existing EU environmental taxonomy, integrating both environmental and social sustainability goals.
The EU Social Taxonomy is still under development, and a final timeline for its implementation has not been officially set. The Platform on Sustainable Finance published a draft in 2022, which serves as a basis for ongoing discussions. However, the process is complex, requiring coordination between various stakeholders, businesses, and governments.
The social taxonomy is expected to be finalized and implemented within the next few years, with many experts anticipating completion by 2025 at the latest.
Abroadify fully supports the Social Agenda from the EU!
