The Château de Vincennes takes part in Giving Tuesday
Every year, the #GivingTuesday movement dedicates a day to generosity: donations of money, time, kind, blood, voice - all forms of generosity are celebrated!
The Château de Vincennes is a royal castle built for the most part by Charles V in the Middle Ages, with a long history stretching back to the beginning of the 20th century. A royal residence until the 17th century, the castle was used as a royal prison from the Renaissance onwards, with its 50-metre-high keep, and became a military garrison under Napoleon. A central witness to the history of France, the castle is now a site occupied by the Service Historique de la Défense and is open to visitors thanks to the Centre des Monuments Nationaux.
If you love France's heritage and are concerned about passing it on to future generations, we need your help to continue protecting it, restoring it, showcasing it, investing in it by offering a varied cultural programme, and opening it up to an ever wider public.
By supporting your favourite monument, you are helping to preserve and pass on the treasures of the château de Vincennes.
An advantageous tax reduction
If you are an individual, whatever the amount of your donation, 66% of the sum is deducted from your income tax (up to a limit of 20% of taxable income). For example, a donation of €100 actually costs you €34, giving you a tax reduction of €66. If this reduction exceeds 20% of your taxable income, the excess can be carried forward for five years.
If you make a donation in the name of your company, whatever the amount of your donation :
- 60% of the amount is deducted from your corporation tax, up to €2 million
- 40% for donations over this amount.
In accordance with the law of 1 August 2003 on sponsorship, associations and foundations, the amount of the tax reduction is capped at 0.5% of sales excluding tax, and can be carried forward for up to 5 tax years.
The Château de Vincennes would like to extend its warmest thanks to its patrons and donors.
