Frequently Asked Questions

Why do people donate to Volt?

Our donors are passionate about solving the challenges of today’s society. This is what matters to them the most and that’s why they donate to Volt Europa.

Supporting Volt Europa means investing in the future of a stronger, more united Europe. Volt is the only political movement that fully embraces European integration as its core mission. By mobilising and empowering citizens across borders, Volt works to build a truly transnational democracy where cooperation replaces fragmentation.

In the short term, member donations help Volt grow its presence across Europe by funding grassroots campaigns, supporting national chapters and strengthening internal structures. This includes preparing for upcoming elections, expanding media outreach and building organisational capacity. These are essential steps in Volt’s push to secure Europarty status and increase influence at the EU level.

In the long term, Volt’s vision is to transform how European governance works: making coordination among member states more effective, transparent and democratic. Donations enable Volt to invest in future political leaders, develop cross-border policy solutions and push for deep reforms that align with a federal, citizen-driven Europe.

By contributing, our supporters aren't just funding a political movement - they're advancing a European project with both immediate impact and lasting change.

What is the money used for?

Every donation to Volt Europa is a contribution to building a more democratic and forward-looking Europe. 

Volt Europa is the body of the movement that builds our European policies and ensures that all our national chapters can speak with One Voice, facilitates collaboration across Europe between chapters and supports chapters and members in achieving their full potential. We do this with the help of many volunteers, and a small team of dedicated staff. 

To professionalise our organisation, we need funds to hire more staff and pay them a fair wage. Furthermore, donations to Volt Europa are, amongst others, used to cover essential operational costs (including our IT infrastructure), organise pan-European events (including our annual in-person General Assembly). support strategic expansion into new countries and train the next generation of political leaders. 

Can I donate to a specific cause?

If you are interested in donating to a specific team, initiative, campaign, or goal, you can contact our Impact Team. They will set up an individual meeting with you to get to know you and help you find the right fit for your donation. Contact them at [email protected]. 

Does Volt have the capacity to absorb my donation?

As a movement with over 40.000 members and supporters all over Europe and with hundreds of active volunteers, we can ensure that every donation is put to use in the most effective manner. If you are interested in getting to know some of our key workers responsible for Volt’s successes, visit our key workers page. 

What do donors get in return for their donation?

By default and in line with our Internal Regulations, donors do not get any services or products in return for their donation. However, if they are interested, donors can become part of our informal European network of people who support Volt financially. Sometimes we hold events for this network of people to inspire, connect and exchange thoughts with like-minded Europeans. In addition, donors will receive regular updates on how Volt is developing. 

What can I do beyond donating?

If you are interested in supporting Volt beyond your donation, consider getting involved here. Additionally, you can contact our Impact Team. They will set up an individual meeting with you to get to know you and help you discover the right way for you to help strengthen European politics. Contact them at [email protected]. 

What influence do donors have on your policies?

Donors do not influence our policies. As a grassroots movement, only our members have the right to co-create and vote on Volt’s policies. We are also always conscious of limiting the risk of potential conflicts of interests.

Do major donors have more access to Volt representatives?

No, sometimes we organise events for Volters to give them an opportunity to engage and interact with representatives for Volt and we organise similar events for donors. Therefore, major donors do not have more access to elected representatives, compared to any other member of Volt. 

Are you open about the donations you receive?

Volt Europa takes transparency extremely seriously. Therefore, we made the decision of declaring on our websites all our financial backers and supporters that have donated more than €3000 in a calendar year. Any donor fitting these requirements will be asked for their explicit consent to appear on our website: should they refuse, the total amount of their donation will be returned. Learn more about our transparency here.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Your donation may be tax deductible depending on your national jurisdiction. We are working on an overview of where this is possible, but in the meantime we are happy to help you figure this out. Please, reach out to [email protected].

Can I receive a proof of donation?

You can request a proof of donation signed by our Treasurer through [email protected].
