We greatly value your support and believe in making the most effective use of your donation by giving you the opportunity to claim tax-advantages by your local tax authority. Please see below for a list of tax efficient gift options.

 

Giving from Switzerland

For donors with fiscal residency in Switzerland, donations made to the CERN & Society Foundation are in principle tax-deductible at a Federal and Canton level within exiting limits.  Please let us know if you need further information or a receipt for your donation.

 

Giving from the United States*   

Donors with fiscal residency in the United States can support our activities in a tax-efficient way and within applicable limits through a contribution to the CERN & Society Foundation US Fund at Myriad USA. Because Myriad USA is a public charity, within the meaning of Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, donors may claim the maximum tax benefits allowed by U.S. tax law for their contributions.

If you wish to support us, here is how to proceed:

  • Gifts by cheque: Please make your cheque out to Myriad USA, and write “CERN & Society Foundation US Fund” in the memo section of the cheque. The cheque can then be sent to:
