There is a way to support the work of Moonlight Children’s Home without making an additional donation. Under Poland’s personal income tax rules, an eligible taxpayer may ask the tax authorities to send up to 1.5% of the tax already due to a Polish public-benefit organisation (OPP). It is not an extra 1.5% tax. This option is relevant to people who file a Polish PIT return, not automatically to everyone who holds Polish citizenship.
Moonlight Children’s Home cooperates with the Polish association Inicjatywa Ochrony Praw i Wyrównywania Szans (Initiative for the Protection of Rights and Equal Opportunities). The association’s registration details are KRS 0000396841, NIP 9671350482 and REGON 341185739. Its OPP status appears in Polish NGO directories; eligibility for a particular tax return year must also be confirmed in the official National Freedom Institute (NIW) list.
In your Polish PIT return or the Twój e-PIT online service, find the field for allocating 1.5% to an OPP. Enter the organisation’s KRS number: 0000396841. In the optional field labelled “cel szczegółowy” (specific purpose), type exactly: MCH - NEPAL. Check the calculated amount and submit your return according to the applicable instructions. If your return already contains a charity from the previous year, review and update the KRS and specific purpose rather than assuming they changed automatically.
The tax office sends the allocation to the Polish OPP, not directly to a Nepalese bank account. The specific-purpose text communicates your intention but does not itself guarantee that the exact amount will be transferred to MCH. The use, accounting and any transfer of funds must comply with Polish law, the OPP’s statutes and the cooperation arrangements. Donors are entitled to ask how the support reaches the activities they care about.
For the 2025 tax year, returns are filed in 2026. Before filing a return for the 2026 tax year in 2027, verify that KRS 0000396841 is still on the relevant official list. If you do not file a normal annual PIT return and receive a qualifying PIT-40A pension statement, the PIT-OP procedure may be available. The Polish tax authority explains the current conditions and deadlines.
This option complements international donations to Moonlight: 1.5% is a Polish income-tax mechanism, while support from the US, Australia, other EU countries and Nepal follows each jurisdiction’s separate rules. Whatever the method, the aim remains shared care for all girls, never choosing an individual child for sponsorship.
Frequently asked questions
What KRS number should I enter?
0000396841, the registration number of MCH’s Polish partner organisation.
What goes into “cel szczegółowy”?
Enter exactly MCH - NEPAL in the specific-purpose field.
Does 1.5% mean an extra tax payment?
No. It is an allocation of part of the Polish income tax already due, for eligible taxpayers.
Does the tax office send the money straight to Nepal?
No. It pays the Polish OPP. A specific-purpose notation alone does not legally guarantee onward transfer.
