Bali Life Foundation is a registered Indonesian nonprofit. General charitable donations in Indonesia are not automatically deductible from personal income tax - only specific categories qualify under Government Regulation PP 93/2010 (donations for national disaster relief, research and development, education, sports development, and social-infrastructure built through approved channels). Zakat, infak and sedekah paid to a nationally licensed Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) or to BAZNAS are deductible from gross taxable income under Law 23/2011 - proof of payment (Bukti Setor Zakat) is required. International donors can give through PayPal, GlobalGiving, or direct bank transfer (Indonesian banks: BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI); domestic donors typically use bank transfer, Kitabisa, BenihBaik, or e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, DANA, ShopeePay). Consult an Indonesian tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation.
Bali Life Foundation is a registered Indonesian foundation. It is registered with Ditjen AHU under Indonesia's Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham), with registration number AHU-4948.AH.01.02.Tahun 2008.
You can verify Bali Life Foundation's legal status in three ways. First, search Indonesia's official AHU registry at https://ahu.go.id/pencarian/yayasan (for Yayasan) or /pencarian/perkumpulan (for Perkumpulan) using the organisation's full Indonesian name - every legally-registered Yayasan or Perkumpulan must appear in that database with its SK Menkumham (decree number). Bali Life Foundation's registration number is AHU-4948.AH.01.02.Tahun 2008. Second, ask the organisation for its NPWP (taxpayer number) and the most recent akta yayasan or akta perkumpulan (notarial deed) - legitimate Indonesian nonprofits will share these on request. Third, check whether the organisation publishes annual financial reports (laporan keuangan) and a list of its board (pengurus) - both are required for legitimate Indonesian foundations under Law 28/2004.
You can donate to Bali Life Foundation directly through its donation page (https://balilife.org/donate/). Indonesian charities typically accept bank transfers (Bank BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI), e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, DANA, ShopeePay, LinkAja), and donations via Indonesian fundraising platforms such as Kitabisa or BenihBaik. International donors can usually give via PayPal, GlobalGiving, or international wire transfer; remittance services like Wise or Western Union also work but the fee structure varies. Always confirm the recipient's bank-account name and NPWP / registration number before sending funds, and ask for a written acknowledgement (tanda terima donasi).
