Fundacion Cristiana Abriendo Surcos is a Colombian foundation (fundacion) - a non-membership legal entity created to manage assets dedicated to a specific social, cultural, educational, or charitable purpose, governed under the Colombian Civil Code. All Colombian nonprofit entities (Entidades Sin Animo de Lucro, or ESALs) are registered in the RUES (Registro Unico Empresarial y Social) through the local Chamber of Commerce (Camara de Comercio), and this organization is identified by NIT (Numero de Identificacion Tributaria) 900143862.

The RUES record shows the official name, legal form, registration status, registered address, and the Chamber of Commerce where the organization is registered. Second, verify the NIT with DIAN (Direccion de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales) at https://muisca.dian.gov.co/ to confirm the organization's tax status and whether it has RTE (Regimen Tributario Especial) qualification. You can also ask the organization for its most recent estatutos (bylaws) and estados financieros (financial statements), which must be filed annually with the Chamber of Commerce. If the RUES record is active and the financial reports are available, the organization is legitimately registered.

Some organizations also accept donations through platforms like Vaki (vaki.co, Colombia's leading crowdfunding platform) or GiveDirectly. For international donors, bank wire transfers and services like PayPal or Wise are options, though you should confirm with the organization which international transfer methods they support.
