Reasons to Support Mehad

- Inspiring Others: By choosing to donate, you set an example of solidarity for those around you, encouraging others to join your commitment to making a difference.
- Enjoying Tax Benefits (for French tax payers only): Your donations not only support a noble cause but can also reduce your tax burden.
For French tax residents, 75% of your donation to Mehad can be deducted from your income tax, up to a limit of €1,000 per year, and 66% for donations above that amount.
In practical terms, this means that for a €100 donation within the €1,000 annual limit, it will only cost you €25. Beyond that limit, a donation will effectively cost you €34.
Tax benefits may also apply for residents of other countries.

Are Transactions Secure?
Your security is our top priority. All transactions made through our donation forms are 100% secure. We use SSL protocol to encrypt all banking information required to process payments, and we do not store any of your financial data in our systems. Your banking information is never transmitted to us when you make a donation.
How Will My Donation Be Used?
At Mehad, we are committed to transparent financial management.
Of every €100 spent by our NGO, €97 goes directly to our social field missions, while the remaining 3% supports our organizational structure and fundraising initiatives.
Our accounts undergo annual audits by an international accounting firm, Baker Tilly, along with an independent auditor, ensuring accountability and transparency in all our financial dealings.
Can I Earmark My Donation for a Specific Mission?
Like many NGOs, Mehad has a policy of not earmarking donations but rather pooling them across all our missions. This approach allows us to respond effectively to actual needs rather than being influenced by financial considerations or media-driven urgency. Therefore, if we receive donations that exceed our current commitments, they will be reallocated based on our most pressing priorities.
However, if you have a specific intervention area or project in mind, we are happy to consider your request to designate your donation accordingly, subject to feasibility.
How Can I Be Sure My Donation Reaches the Intervention Areas?
We are committed to maintaining exemplary donation management in accordance with our obligations to our funders: the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union, and you—our valued donors—who place your trust in us.
Our accounts are audited and certified by the international firm Baker Tilly and a statutory auditor. Donations directly benefit our teams on the field.
Mehad is Where Other NGOs No Longer Operate
I learned about Mehad while organizing “A White Wave for Syria” and witnessed your remarkable fieldwork in Syria and other regions. Thanks to your brilliant and compassionate initiative to train local staff on the ground, Mehad is able to intervene where other NGOs can no longer operate. You achieve so much more with fewer resources than others, which is truly commendable. Mehad is now the only organization I support. Thank you for all that you do.

Mehad is Dedicated to Conflicts Overlooked by the Media
I support Mehad, even with my limited means, because you dedicate yourselves to conflicts that are often ignored by the media, leaving thousands of innocent people—especially children who cannot comprehend such senseless violence—abandoned. I hope for an end to this suffering soon, even if current events suggest otherwise. Thank you on their behalf!
