For some time, we’ve wanted to make it easier for individuals and companies in Romania to get involved, and to grow our network of leaders who want to see a stronger relationship between the U.S. and Romania, and more networking opportunities for Romanians and Romania-supporters wherever the location. Romanian Friends of Alianța will organize networking and business events in Romania, about 3-4 times a year, to which members will have access. Now, if you’re based in Romania, all donations and sponsorships will be tax and VAT- deductible, in accordance with Romanian law concerning non-profit entities.
