A list of organisations in Poland in 2027 eligible for 1.5% of tax donations

If you are wondering where you can donate 1.5% of your tax in Poland, the list of organisations in 2027 might be ten thousand positions long. Just at the start of 2026, there were around 9.5 thousand public benefit organisations to which you could donate part of your tax, so how can you choose the right one?

What qualifies an organisation to receive 1.5% tax donations?

For an organisation to be legally eligible to receive 1.5% tax donations, it must hold a public benefit organisation (PBO) status. You can access the complete list of organisations eligible for donations on the National Institute of Freedom site. For an organisation or foundation to gain this status, it must:

• Maintain continuous operations for two years.
• Carry out statutory activities addressed to the general public or to a group dealing with specific life circumstances or financial situations.
• Donate its income to organisations towards public benefit activities.
• Have a supervisory body.
• Select members of its board and supervisory body who were not convicted.
• Have a statute designed to prohibit the organisation, among other things, from granting loans.
• Publish its financial reports on time.

The organisation must be active and cannot be suspended or be in liquidation. All legal provisions are intended to prevent the misappropriation of funds and keep public benefit organisations out of debt, which could potentially lead to bankruptcy. Public benefit organisations operate on a non-profit basis and rely on the government’s donations and donations from private beneficiaries. One type of such donation is the 1.5% from taxes.

Caritas - KRS: 0000198645

Caritas is one of the largest and most active PBOs in the country. They have over a thousand locations in Poland, where they help those in need. The organisation has operated since 1989 and provides baby hatches, shelters for mothers and children, night shelters, and soup kitchens.

Food assistance, palliative care, and combating homelessness are Caritas’ main operations for which they need plenty of help. It is estimated that there are over twenty thousand employees at Caritas. Therefore, donating 1.5% of tax is not the only way to support Caritas’ work. The organisation constantly recruits volunteers, and joining is quite simple: fill in the form located on Caritas’ website.

To donate 1.5% of tax to Caritas in 2027, all that needs to be done is to provide its KRS number, 0000198645, on the tax form by the 30th of April.

Fundacja Hospicyjna - KRS 0000201002

Even though the work of Fundacja Hospicyjna is smaller than that of Caritas, over the past 40 years its activities have had an immense impact on the community, and it is a PBO worth supporting. Notably, it operates in areas not covered heavily by the media.

One such function of Fundacja Hospicyjna is to run the Father Dutkiewicz Hospice in Gdańsk. The hospice provides palliative and hospice care, meaning it cares for terminally ill individuals. For several years, the foundation has also operated a respite care centre, aiming to help carers of individuals who require constant supervision maintain balance in their lives by providing day care or 24-hour care when needed. The Hospice Foundation also provides the following:

• Perinatal care, which includes helping families who expect children with lethal conditions,
• Tumbo Pomaga – Orphaned Children’s Fund – to support grieving orphans,
• Akademia Walki z Rakiem – free psychological help and health education for cancer patients,
• Support for family carers – expanding knowledge about how to care for the patient and themselves,
• Palliative care clinic.

You can support the Foundation by adding the organisation’s KRS number 0000201002 to your PIT tax return form.

Fundacja JohnnyBros - KRS 0000926634

Another organisation you can donate 1.5% of your tax to in 2027 is Fundacja JohnnyBros. The foundation conducts several local activities in Gdańsk and the Tricity area as well as beyond. Fundacja JohnnyBros's activities in recent years include:

• Supporting the construction of the Respite Care Centre in Gdańsk as the main donor,

• Aid for Ukraine, including the purchase of four ambulances.

If you want to support the above activities in 2027, just enter the KRS number 0000926634 in your tax return.
