How to Support the Václav Havel Library

Financial contributions

US citizens could support us via
Vaclav Havel Library Foundation New York

The aim of the Václav Havel Library is not only to create a museum mapping a period of historical changes in the life of our country and celebrating the life and work of a person whose role in the transformation of our country into a democratic society is indisputable, and who has not only played a significant role in the social life of the Czech Republic, but has also significantly contributed to its literary heritage. The Václav Havel Library aims in addition to become a multicultural centre which will serve the academic community, students and their teachers, and the wider public and which will enable them to meet significant Czech and international personalities to discuss current topics.

The activities of the Václav Havel Library are partially financed from the funds of Czech and international institutions. However, these funds only partly cover the organisation’s activities and the operations. We endeavour to acquire the remaining finances by, for example, selling publications or organising cultural events. However, you too can contribute. Your material or financial support means more to us than just a financial contribution or donation. You will become our partner in the community of tolerant and perceptive citizens which we are endeavouring to build.

If you have decided to support the Václav Havel Library by means of a financial contribution, you can make that contribution via our bank accounts.

Tax exemptions for our donors

Physical entities (according to section 15, subsection 8 of the Income Tax Act)

Physical entities may deduct the value of their donation from their tax base, provided its total value in the taxation period exceeds 2% of the tax base or amounts to at least CZK 1,000. In total, it is possible to deduct a maximum of 10% from the tax base. This must therefore involve minimum donations in excess of CZK 1,000 or amounts which are higher than 2% of the tax base.

Legal entities (according to section 20, subsection 8 of Income Tax Act)

Legal entities may deduct the value of their donation from the tax base, provided its total value in the taxation period exceeds 5% of the already reduced tax base or if it amounts to at least CZK 2,000. This must therefore involve minimum donations of CZK 2,000 or an amount which is higher than 5% of the already reduced tax base.

More detailed information can be found in Income Tax Act no. 586/1992 Coll.
