1.2% Personal Income Tax Support: The Public Allocated Over €50,000 to the VU Foundation
As November progresses and the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) publishes the final results of the allocation of 1.2% of personal income tax (PIT) for donations, it has become clear that the Vilnius University (VU) Foundation received strong public support this year – a total of €50,847 was donated.
Most of the funds went to named endowment subfunds, which collected €22.4 thousand. They are followed by the unrestricted endowment fund, which attracted €9.7 thousand, while third place in terms of support went to the VU Culture Centre ensembles, which this year received over €7.4 thousand.

The VU Foundation sincerely thanks the donor community for its growing trust. We invite you to continue this tradition next year – your support directly contributes to the University’s long-term scientific, cultural, and community initiatives. Detailed instructions on how to allocate support to the VU endowment fund, academic or non-academic units, named subfunds, or other purposes can be found here.
We would like to remind you that, following amendments to the Charity and Support Law, residents can no longer allocate 1.2% of PIT to budgetary institutions or recipients without a non-governmental organisation (NGO) status – including Vilnius University (company code 211950810). We invite you to direct your 1.2% PIT contribution to the Vilnius University Foundation (company code 304222713) or to other VU community organisations that meet the eligibility requirements for support.
