2.1. General Information

Donation phase during the FEDORA Prizes Competition

The donation phase on the FEDORA Platform takes place every year. During the fundraising phase anyone can discover the nominated projects for the FEDORA Prizes on the FEDORA Platform and can donate to their favourite projects. A donor can make multiple donations to any nominated project on the FEDORA Platform, but the benefits provided by the nominee cannot be accumulated per project. Individuals and companies based in France, selected European countries (https://www.fedora-platform.com/platform/cross-border-philanthropy) as well as the USA have the opportunity to receive a tax receipt for their donation. This option excludes the possibility to receive benefits offered by the projects.

Voting phase during the FEDORA Prizes Competition

The voting phase on the FEDORA Platform takes place before the Award Ceremony. During this period, anyone can discover the nominated projects for the FEDORA Prizes on the FEDORA Platform and can vote online for their favorite projects. Each registered user can attribute one vote to each project.

More information on the 2023 Public Voting phase for the FEDORA Prizes Competition

The voting phase will open on February 1st, 2023, at 10 am CET and will close at noon (12:00 pm) on the 10th of February. During this time, the 11 projects nominated for the FEDORA Prizes Biennale will have the opportunity to gain support from the public. The project which will receive the most public votes will be the recipient of the “Audience Award” on the FEDORA Platform and receive financial support of 10,000 euros. After the closing of the voting period, FEDORA will conduct a voting verification process to ensure the votes are valid and to identify the winning project. The recipient will be announced online and during the Award Ceremony, at the Palais Garnier, in Paris, on the 10th of February 2023.

Throughout the year, any individual or company can donate to FEDORA or register to become a member of the FEDORA Platform and support FEDORA’s activities.

Individuals and companies based in France, selected European countries (see above) and the USA have the opportunity to receive a tax receipt for their donation.

2.2. Technical information about registering and donating online on the FEDORA Platform

User online registration

To vote and/or donate online, platform users need to register on the FEDORA Platform with their email address or with their Facebook account. The user receives a verification email to his or her registered email address in order to activate his or her account on the FEDORA Platform. Disposable or general contact email addresses are not accepted for registrations on the FEDORA Platform. This is done to guarantee the rightful procedure of the voting process so that no fake email accounts can be used and to avoid that email addresses being used without the permission of their legal owner and/or several times.

Payment methods and currency

Donations and membership payments can be made online by credit card. The FEDORA Platform accepts Visa Card and Mastercard. Payments are made in euros on the FEDORA Platform. The FEDORA Platform guarantees a secure payment procedure for credit card transactions on the FEDORA Platform through Stripe (https://stripe.com/fr-us/legal/payment-terms).

Tax deductible donations for French fiscal residents and companies

The FEDORA Platform provides donors who are French fiscal residents and companies registered in France with tax receipts corresponding to the amount of their donation following French fiscal law. In order to generate the tax receipts, donors need to provide their full name and address. For international legal coordination purposes, a donor who chooses to benefit from tax deduction cannot additionally obtain the crowdfunding benefits associated with the donation basket he or she selected in the context of the fundraising campaigns of the nominated projects.

Tax deductible donations for individuals and companies based in selected EU countries

Residents from and companies registered in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Switzerland or U.K. can benefit from tax deductions valid in their country of residence. To do so, the donor will be

redirected to the Transnational Giving Europe Platform to proceed to the payment of its donation. To this end, Transnational Giving Europe will use and collect the donor’s data as explained in their Privacy Statement.

Donation transactions are made in each country’s local currency of the above-mentioned countries.

Donations can be made online by Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Bancontact or Paypal, depending on each National Transnational Giving Europe Partner Foundation’s capacity. Transnational Giving Europe guarantees a secure payment procedure through the Transnational Giving Europe Platform powered by iRaiser.

The National Transnational Giving Europe Partner Foundation is responsible for emitting a valid tax receipt according to donor’s country of tax residence, after having conducted a due diligence verification procedure required by national laws.

Information that is shared with nominees and their collaborators

Once a donor makes a donation to a project on the FEDORA Platform or on the Transnational Giving Europe Platform or “TGE”, the FEDORA Platform informs the project’s lead company about the donor’s name, donation amount, and the selected benefits. Projects never receive donors’ credit card details or other payment information. At the end of the fundraising campaign, the projects will coordinate directly with the donor the delivery of the benefits (if applicable) and updates about the advancements of the project.

FEDORA commits to transferring the donations received on behalf of the nominated projects minus its management fees (which are equal to 6% for donations processed through the FEDORA Platform and 14% for donations processed through the TGE Platform) to the project after the end of the nominees’ fundraising campaigns.

The lead companies have the option to appoint collaborators to help manage their projects. These collaborators may be able to access some of the information available to the project (including donors’ names, email addresses, donation amounts, benefit selections, and messages), and are required to treat donors’ personal information with the same care and respect as the lead companies are. The lead companies and their collaborators may also receive anonymized information about the ways people visit and interact with their project page, in the form of routine traffic analytics.
