IMPORTANT - DONATIONS TO SHAKESPEARE NETWORK ARE NOT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
We deeply appreciate the generosity of our patrons, donors and supporters. However, contributions to foreign organizations are generally not tax-deductible unless the funds are used within the donor’s own country. Because the Shakespeare Network’s mission spans continents, and your donations help us make an impact globally, we are unable to offer tax-deductibility at this time.
Please also consider that due to the significant operational and accounting costs involved in establishing and managing complex, multilayered structures across different continents, we face considerable challenges in creating such frameworks.
While we regret this limitation, please know that your support is invaluable in helping us bring the works of Shakespeare to audiences around the world. Your kindness and belief in our mission make all the difference, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to this global endeavor.
