[vc_row type=”vc_default” css=”.vc_custom_1549979888852{margin-bottom: 45px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The St. Martin Foundation receives a certain portion of its funding from its sponsor, but in order for it to continue to carry out its charity work it also relies on donations<\/p>\n

The St. Martin Foundation wishes to thank the many loyal donors who support its projects and commitments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A challenge and an opportunity for the future<\/h2>\n

The construction of a drinking water well costs around 15’000 Swiss francs. Every donation helps the \u201cWater is Life\u201d project construct new wells and maintain the existing ones.<\/p>\n

The fact that the administrative and management costs are borne by Alfred M\u00fcller AG in Switzerland means that every donated Swiss franc flows undiminished into the project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tax exemption<\/h2>\n

Donations to the St. Martin Foundation are tax deductible in most cantons.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2669″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”grad” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #706A54), color-stop(100%, #999165));background: -moz-linear-gradient(left,#706A54 0%,#999165 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left,#706A54 0%,#999165 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(left,#706A54 0%,#999165 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(left,#706A54 0%,#999165 100%);background: linear-gradient(left,#706A54 0%,#999165 100%);” css=”.vc_custom_1556024542721{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]
