What is ALTPHILAS?
An international micro-charity association. We pool equal monthly contributions from our members and donate the total to a different small, independent NGO each month.
How do you choose the beneficiaries?
Members propose NGOs, we vote each month, and the winning proposal receives that month’s unified donation.
What organisations do you support?
We focus on small NGOs that get little or no state funding, have no large sponsors, and have proven their commitment over the years. We prioritise those who sacrifice much to give even more.
Do you keep part of the money for expenses?
No. 100% of member contributions go to the chosen NGO. The founders privately cover all operating costs.
How much do members contribute?
A fixed amount of 10€ each month, the same for everyone regardless of income. This keeps participation fair and accessible.

Can I suggest an NGO?
Yes, if it is independent, transparent, and impactful. Any member can nominate organisations for voting.
Do you visit the NGOs you support?
When possible, members or friends visit and share updates, photos, and personal impressions to keep our connection real.
Why did you start ALTPHILAS?
We often come across people or small associations doing selfless work for years, quietly and without recognition. At some point, you feel the need to contribute too, but donating alone can feel insignificant, and with big organizations, it's hard to trust where your money goes. That’s why we created our association to unite small efforts into something meaningful. When friends come together, even modest donations can truly support those who dedicate their lives to helping others.
What makes ALTPHILAS different from other charities?
We are a micro-charity: small, independent, and 100% transparent. There are no hidden costs (if 50 people donate €10, we donate the full €500). No salaries, no overhead. And we support a different small organization every month, always focusing on places where our donation can make a real difference.
