For the host

Ask for a gift on the invitation

Have everything you need already? On the invitation, ask your guests for a gift to Omogolo Wildlife Trust instead of a present. Use this wording as it is or adapt it:

No presents needed. If you would like to give something, make a gift to Omogolo Wildlife Trust online at www.omogolowildlife.org/donate-instead-of-gifts.

Use the form to let us know you are asking for gifts. After the party, we tell you what your guests gave together.

For the guests

How to give for a celebration

Your guests give online, right here. Each gift goes 100% to the project they choose.

Let us know

Are you asking your guests for gifts to Omogolo Wildlife Trust, or do you have a question? Send us a message.

  • 100% of every gift goes to the chosen project.
  • We work for the foundation on an unpaid basis and cover bank charges and other overhead costs out of our own pockets.
  • ANBI since October 2015 and a CBF-recognised charity.

  1. Can we hear how much our guests gave?

    Yes. Let us know through the form on this page whose party it is, the date, and the project your guests give to.

    After the party we tell you what came in for that project around the date.

  2. Is a gift for a celebration tax-deductible?

    Omogolo Wildlife Trust has been an ANBI since October 2015. A gift for a celebration is a regular gift. Donors in the Netherlands may deduct it from their income tax for the part above 1% of their income, with a minimum of € 60, up to 10% of their income.

    Read more about tax-deductible giving.

  3. Can the gifts go to one project?

    Yes. Ask your guests to choose that project when they give on this page, for example the Rhinos in Uganda. If no project is chosen, the gift goes where it is needed most.
