  • The main difference between an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and a foundation lies in their structure and approach.

    NGO (Non-Governmental Organization): An NGO is an independent, non-profit entity dedicated to addressing social, environmental, or humanitarian problems. NGOs can operate in a wide variety of fields, such as human rights, the environment, health, education, and others. Their funding generally comes from donations, grants, and fundraising, and their work focuses on implementing projects and programs directly in the community.

    Foundation: A foundation is a nonprofit entity that is usually established for a specific purpose, such as supporting a particular cause or mission. Foundations can operate in a variety of ways, including donating funds to nonprofit organizations (including NGOs), creating and managing their own programs, or awarding scholarships and prizes. Their funding comes from donations and managed assets, and their focus is usually broader and more strategic, often influencing policy and promoting long-term change.

    In short, while an NGO focuses on the direct implementation of programs and projects to address specific problems, a foundation typically has a more strategic approach and can operate in a variety of ways to support its particular cause or mission. Both play important roles in the nonprofit arena and work together to create a positive impact on society.

  • 65% of funds go directly to the organization's mission and programs, while no more than 35% is used for administrative and fundraising expenses.

  • Yes, donations made to our foundation are tax-deductible in Spain. This means that by making a donation, you can benefit from significant tax advantages. Under current legislation in Spain, donations to non-profit organisations, such as ours, can offer a reduction in your tax burden, allowing you to contribute to a worthy cause while also receiving a tax benefit.

    Tax benefits may vary depending on the amount donated and applicable tax regulations, so we recommend that you consult with a tax advisor or tax professional for specific information on how you can take advantage of this benefit and how it will affect your tax return.

    By donating to our foundation, you not only contribute to our mission of empowering women entrepreneurs, but you can also enjoy the tax benefits provided by Spanish legislation to reward your generosity and support for social causes.

    Donations to non-profit foundations have been allowed to deduct up to 80% of the money contributed since 2020. You must take into account several facts:
    • This deduction has a taxable base limit of 10%.
    • It does not apply to the Basque Country and Navarre, where the deduction is 20 and 25%.
    • If you have donated to the same NGO in the previous 2 years, the amount of the deduction may be higher.
    • In the case of partners, this will be your total deduction if you have been collaborating for one year (12 installments). If you have been a partner for less than 12 months, your deduction will be proportional to the months in which you have collaborated during that fiscal year.

    INDIVIDUALS (IPRF): How are tax deductions calculated when making donations?

    UP TO €150

    You can deduct 80% of all your donations.

    FROM 150€

    From the first €150 you deduct  80%.

    From the amount exceeding the first €150 you can deduct:

    40% if you have donated in the two previous years an amount equal to or greater than the previous year.

    35% in the rest of the cases.

    COMPANIES OR LEGAL ENTITIES: If you are a company, you can deduct 40% in your tax return if you have donated in the two previous years or 35% if you have been collaborating with that NGO for less than two years.

  • Our foundation was born in memory of our beloved daughter, Tara, who was not able to see her dreams come true, especially that of building her own project. Today, if she were with us, she would be celebrating her 18th birthday and we would be helping her spread her wings so she could fly high.

    Women with Tara's spirit exist in every corner of our planet, and that is why our foundation has a clear purpose: to provide all women entrepreneurs with the opportunity to promote and develop their businesses.

    Tara’s family is determined to honor her legacy, not just with words, but with concrete actions. We want to provide opportunities and resources to women who might not otherwise have access to them. We know that no dream is too big or too small; what matters is taking that first bold step toward making it a reality.

    Tara's true legacy lies in the success of these dreams, in the triumph of these brave women who defy adversity and pursue their goals with determination. Each achievement, each milestone reached, is a tribute to Tara's memory and a reminder that together we can build a world where all women's dreams come true.

  • Women. We seek to empower women entrepreneurs so that their projects and businesses have a positive impact on society and their communities. In our calls for programs, one of the key requirements is that the projects presented must have a social impact component and be aligned with at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

    Through our initiatives, we have contributed to the achievement of several sustainable development goals, such as gender equality, quality education, reducing inequality and promoting sustainable entrepreneurship. We have seen how the women entrepreneurs we support not only generate income for themselves, but also create jobs, promote innovation and address important social challenges in their communities.

    Our social impact is reflected in the transformation of lives and the creation of a multiplier effect as the women entrepreneurs we support inspire others and contribute to collective well-being. We remain committed to promoting projects that are not only economically successful, but also generate positive and sustainable change in the world.
