Give with Purpose. Get Rewarded.
The donation platform that helps you fuel change in Sub-Saharan Africa and receive valuable tax benefits.
The Donor Dilemma
Many donors are unaware of tax benefits and don't trust traditional charities. This is a major challenge for US and German donors wanting to support African projects and still receive their tax benefits.
The Problem
KATO: Give with Purpose. Get Tax Benefits.
We partner with vetted African NGOs, providing updates and tax-optimised giving in Germany and the USA.
The Solution
How It Works
Simple, transparent, and impactful. See exactly how your donation creates change.
1. Donate to Your Chosen Cause
Make a secure donation through our portal. You can choose to support one of our vetted NGO partners that aligns with your values.
2. See Your Impact
Your generosity creates real change. We'll provide you with updates, photos, and videos that show you exactly how your donation is making a difference on the ground.
3. Receive Tax Benefits & Certification
Your giving is rewarded. For every donation, you will receive a valuable tax certification that allows you to claim tax benefits on your contribution.
Please note: We can only provide tax benefits to donors based in the USA and Germany. If you are not in these countries, feel free to contact us.
