Cheque / mail
To donate by cheque or via regular mail please print the donation form or download the

Songtsen’s main office is located in France. If you donate outside of France / Europe, please use one of Songtsen’s international offices near you and make your cheque payable to the corresponding Foundation name – see International Charity Status. Otherwise, please choose an international money order or a check payable to a French bank, to avoid collection costs. (Sending a foreign check or any other draft drawn on a bank outside of France may involve large processing fees). This will ensure that your complete donation goes to Songtsen.
