The year 2025 was a good year. More was spent than received. Substantial investments were made in the interpreting project, using funds received from SIL International in 2024. The foundation ended slightly negative on the balance sheet. With the buffer built up over the years, the projects can proceed in 2026.

Tips:
– The Carpenter’s Son Foundation has ANBI-status. This means (for EU citizens) that your donations may be eligible for tax deduction. Please take care of the applicable financial threshold.
– In case you are a non-EU citizen, please contact The Carpenter’s Son foundation to discuss the procedure for donating.
– Nex to sponsorship or one-off donations , there is also the possibility to donate periodically. With a periodic gift, you conclude an agreement with The Carpenter’s Son Foundation for 5 years, with a predetermined annual amount. Your advantage is that your donation is fully deductible from your tax return (you no longer have to apply for a threshold) and the foundation can count on your support for that entire period.
