Frequently Asked Questions

Everything companies and donors want to know — about cost, tax deductibility, transparency, and how a green village works. Can't find your answer? Write to us.

For companies & CSR partners
What does the company receive in exchange for sponsorship?

This is a partnership, not a donation that disappears — you receive tangible assets and documents:

Annual ESG report with auditable data (tonnes of CO₂ avoided, green kWh, families housed), carbon certificate, your logo on the village and on the funded home, quarterly reports with photos and a full cost breakdown, co-branding materials ready to use, and an annual site visit with your team.

How much does a partnership cost?

We have three indicative annual packages:

Friend — €5,000: logo on site, annual impact report, partner certificate.
Builder — €25,000: you visibly fund one home, logo on village & home, quarterly reports, visit + photo/video.
Village Founder — €100,000+: co-naming of village/area, advisory committee, dedicated ESG reporting.

We build the right package together for your budget. View the packages in detail →

Can we deduct the sponsorship from tax?

Yes. A company paying corporate income tax can redirect part of its tax liability as a sponsorship, within the legal cap — the lower of 0.75% of turnover and 20% of profit tax. In practice, you sponsor us with money that would have gone to the state anyway.

Exact caps should be confirmed with your accountant for the current tax year. Use the tax calculator →

How do you report impact for ESG / CSRD?

You receive auditable impact data — tonnes of CO₂ avoided, green kWh generated, families housed — with transparent methodology, in quarterly reports and an annual report ready for inclusion in your sustainability report. As EU reporting becomes mandatory, this partnership resolves an obligation rather than adding a cost.

Can we visit the village or bring our team as volunteers?

Yes — the Builder package and above include an annual village visit: a day in the community with your team, corporate volunteering, and a photo/video session you can use in your communications.

How do we start a partnership?

The simplest way: book a 30-minute meeting or complete the form on the partners page. We respond within two working days with a concrete proposal.

For individual donors
How can I donate?

You can support with a one-off or monthly donation of any amount. Online card payments go live at launch; until then you can donate via bank transfer — write to us and we'll send you the details. See all ways to get involved →

What does redirecting 3.5% mean?

As an individual taxpayer (Romanian residents), you can redirect up to 3.5% of your income tax to an association by completing Form 230. It costs you nothing extra — it is money that would go to the state anyway, which you direct towards the green village. It may be the simplest way to help.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

For individuals, the main mechanism is the 3.5% income-tax redirect (Form 230). For companies, sponsorships are deductible within the legal cap. On request, we issue the supporting documentation you need for your records.

Do I receive proof of my donation?

Yes. For every contribution we confirm receipt and, on request, we issue the necessary supporting documents. You can also follow fund progress publicly on the transparency dashboard.

About the project & transparency
What is "Satul Nevoiașilor" (The Village for Families in Need)?

Our first village: a community of passive eco homes for vulnerable families, with a shared solar microgrid, gardens, and a community centre — designed to become self-sufficient in energy and food. Target for the first village: 40 homes, ~160 people housed, ~300 kWp of solar installed. Discover the project →

Why "green"? What does eco have to do with poverty?

Green is not decoration — it is the tool. A village built to eco standards has low living costs: energy and food come from within. That turns one-off help into lifelong self-reliance. Not temporary shelter, but a home that sustains itself.

How does the village become self-sustaining?

Low living costs (near-zero energy, food from the gardens) combined with small revenues from workshops and surplus sold locally make the community increasingly self-sufficient. The savings generated then help fund the next village — see how →

How do I know the money is used correctly?

We practise radical transparency: 100% of funds are reported, with a progress dashboard, a breakdown of expenditure by component, and the real itemised cost of the pilot home (Casa Zero). We publish the same data our partners receive — because trust is built on evidence, not promises.

Are you legally registered?

We are a non-profit association, with our CIF (Romanian tax registration number) in the process of registration. We are a new NGO and prefer to be honest: the impact figures we communicate are our commitment, not our history, and will be reported publicly as we build.

Who are you?

Greentech Charity is an independent eco-social NGO that uses green energy as a social tool — we build villages that lift families out of poverty, with dignity, not pity. Find out more about us →
