Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a donation receipt?
Once our non-profit company (gUG) is established, we will be able to issue donation receipts. Until then, donations are unfortunately not tax-deductible — we are working on an interim solution via a cooperating non-profit association.
What will my donation be used for?
100% of donations go towards exam preparation: laptops, exam fees, learning materials, server infrastructure. As a non-profit organization, no profit distribution is possible.
What does "donation pledge" mean?
A pledge is a non-binding commitment. You tell us how much you would like to donate. Once the gUG is established, we will contact you and you can fulfill your pledge — with a donation receipt.
