Mental Disability Advocacy Center In Hungary Appeals For Your 1%
If you pay income tax in Hungary, now is a really good time to support MDAC. Our work is needed more than ever, and your donation is really critical. When you fill in your income tax return (deadline 20 May), you're allowed to donate 1% of your income tax to charity, at no extra cost to you.

So please make this the first year you donate to MDAC, by writing the HU tax number 18108213-1-42 on your tax declaration or send this document with it.

MDAC has been working in Hungary for more than 10 years now.

Among other successes here, most importantly we achieved a ban on the use of inhuman cage beds in psychiatric facilities.

However, there is still a lot more to be done. In Hungary, more than 60,000 people are under guardianship, a legal restriction which can strip you of your autonomy: you are not allowed to decide how to spend your money, where to live, or even to get married or vote!

More than 20,000 people with disabilities are segregated from society in large institutions.

With your 1% donation to MDAC, you can help us to bring justice to these forgotten people.

As well as the 1% of your income tax, we welcome one-off and regular donations, which you can make here.

Thank you for your help.
