Make a donation to DEBRA Ireland

You can give hope... but paying for medical research or providing support to people with EB costs money.

What your money can do..

• Every 25 Euros you raise will pay for one hour of research, bringing a cure one hour closer.
• Every 315 Euros you raise will pay for one day of research, bringing a cure one day closer.
• Your support will help us to continue in our research and to provide support to families living with EB.

Important Tax information

Donations over €250 Can Be Off Set Against Income Tax

The 2001 Finance Bill means that DEBRA Ireland can claim back the tax paid on donations of €250 or more in any one year by individuals who are on PAYE. Tax refunds are calculated at 42%, 20% or a combination of both depending on which rate is applicable. That means if you pay tax at the higher rate of 42%, a donation of €250 could be worth €360 to DEBRA Ireland.

Donations are cumulative throughout the tax year, so a standing order of €21+ a month will take you over the €250 threshold. At the end of the year we will send you the appropriate form that we need to claim back the tax. Those who are self-assessed may claim back the tax that they have paid on donations, so in order to pass on the benefit to DEBRA Ireland please remember to take this into account when deciding what donation to make.

For further details please check details on The Irish Charities Tax Reform website.

Whatever you raise or donate can make a difference to the life of a child born with EB.
