Commitment

Ten percent, where the contract is signed.

On every payment we receive, 10% goes to an association in the territory where the contract was signed. The client chooses which one. Amounts are published. This page sets out the exact mechanism, what it genuinely costs us, and what it is not.

How it works, precisely

1
You choose the association when signing, from public-interest organisations in your territory. If you have no preference, we suggest a list and you decide.
2
You pay the agreed price. The donation is not added to your invoice — it comes out of our share.
3
We give 10% of the amount received, within the month following payment.
4
The payment is published on this page: association, amount, date. Verifiable.
One detail that matters: 10% of what we receive, not of what we invoice. An unpaid invoice triggers no donation. That is what makes this sustainable rather than declarative — we do not promise money we have not been paid.

What it actually costs us

Corporate giving in New Caledonia earns a tax credit of 60% of the donation — but capped at 0.5% of turnover (tax code, articles Lp 37-2 and Lp 136-3). We give 10%, which is twenty times that ceiling.

XPF 3,600,000XPF 360,000XPF 10,800XPF 349,200

The tax credit covers roughly 3% of what is given. The other 97% comes out of our margin, with no fiscal offset.

We publish this because it is the only way to tell a commitment from an optimisation. A scheme designed around the tax ceiling would sit at 0.5% — not at 10%.

Where the money goes

To the territory where the contract is signed. A New Caledonian client funds a New Caledonian association; a Port Vila client funds a Vanuatu one. Value stays where it is produced — which is also why we do not pool donations into a single organisation.

The areas we lean toward, without excluding others: environment and marine protection, education and youth, language and cultural heritage, employment pathways. If your association fits none of these but matters to you, it works for us.

A practical condition: for the payment to be traceable and receipted, the organisation must be of public interest and — in New Caledonia — have filed its statutes with the relevant service. We check this with you before contracting, which avoids unpleasant surprises on both sides.

What this is not

Payments made

This section will list every payment — association, amount, date — from the first relevant contract. It is empty today because the scheme has just been set up, and we would rather show an empty page than an unverifiable figure.

Common questions

Does the donation get added to my price?

No. The advertised price is what you pay. The 10% is taken from our share after payment is received. Your invoice is the same whether or not you choose an association.

Can I choose the association?

Yes — that is the point. You choose when signing. The only condition is that the organisation be of public interest and based in the territory where the contract is signed. If you have no preference, we suggest a list and you decide.

How do I know the payment was made?

Every payment is published on this page — association, amount, date — and the donation receipt is passed to you. A commitment announced without proof is worth nothing, which is why we would rather start with an empty page than an unverifiable number.

Does this actually cost you anything?

Yes. Corporate giving in New Caledonia earns a 60% tax credit, but capped at 0.5% of turnover, while we give 10%. The credit therefore covers about 3% of what is given; the rest comes out of our margin. That gap is precisely what separates a commitment from an arrangement.

What if I am in a territory you do not list?

The principle holds: 10% goes to an association in your territory, chosen by you. We simply check before contracting that the organisation can receive a donation from New Caledonia and issue a receipt.
