Shareholders

Can shareholders donate all through the year?

If you are an Air Liquide shareholder, you can make a donation to the Foundation at any time. Your donation will be used in the most effective way: we have twenty to thirty collaborations and partnerships at any time, for scientific research or jobs-integration, that require funding.

Thanks to our model of tapping into Air Liquide expertise, our support to these organizations is extremely effective. And we keep our overheads low: more than 90% of your donation will go directly to  funding  projects.

Since by law, donations to the Foundation can only be made by Air Liquide shareholders,  we’ll have to check that you are a shareholder of Air Liquide. Please send us at contact.fondation@airliquide.com a short message with your  surname, first name, expressing that  “I would like to make a donation to the Foundation”. You can specify a  wish to donate to  either research or jobs-insertion projects..

If your shares are registered with Air Liquide's shareholder department, you will receive a link to make your donation online, on a secure platform, by credit card. Your tax receipt will follow.

A tax credit equivalent to 66% of your gift will apply on a donation of up to €1,500 and no more than 20% of your taxable income, if you are  a French tax resident  (If you are also an Air Liquide employee, the €1,500 cap does not apply).
Fiscal rules of your country of residence apply if you are not a French tax resident.

If your shares are not registered with Air Liquide’s shareholder department, please also send us proof  in your email to contact.fondation@airliquide.com that you are a shareholder of Air Liquide (which you should get from your account holder). We will then send you the secure link to make a donation online and a tax receipt will follow.

Thank you for supporting our projects!
