From 2025, following the amendment to the Law on Charity and Support, residents will no longer be able to allocate 1.2 percent of their personal income tax (PIT) to support budgetary institutions that do not have the status of a non-governmental organization (NGO). Since Vilnius University is not an NGO and cannot have this status, it will no longer be able to receive PIT support directly. However, for anyone who wants to support the Zoological Museum and its activities, there is a simple and effective way to do so through the Vilnius University Foundation.
To provide support to the Museum of Zoology, you can choose two purposes:
- Zoologijos muziejaus subfondas is support for intangible capital, the return on investment of which helps to raise about 5 thousand euros annually, which is allocated to the museum's activities.
- Zoologijos muziejus is direct support for museum projects, which will be used immediately according to the museum's needs.
When providing support, it is important to correctly fill in information about the recipient and purpose.
How to provide support:
-
Recipient: Paramos fondas Vilniaus universiteto fondas
-
Identification number (code): 304222713
-
Purpose: Zoologijos muziejus or Zoologijos muziejaus subfondas.
If you are already a sponsor who has indicated a long tax period for several years ahead, you will need to update the support fund and change the VU (211950810) identification code to the new VU fund (304222713) code.
Such support will help ensure that the Zoological Museum will continue to be able to fulfill its mission – to protect and promote natural heritage values, through scientific activities and education. We invite everyone who appreciates the contribution of the Zoological Museum to the cultural and scientific life of Lithuania to contribute to its support and future projects.
Your support is an investment in our culture and science, and the museum will be able to continue its activities thanks to your help.
