Frequently Asked Questions
Lueirx (member)
What is it?
"Lueirxs" are the members or donors of Pepa Loba.
Pepa Loba is an independent association that does not accept funding from governments, transnational corporations, or any natural or legal person that does not respect its principles. This is why your collaboration is so important.
Why the name Lueirx?
Lueiro was the dog who was always a companion to Pepa Loba. Lueiro represents complicity and unwavering loyalty to Pepa Loba, and serves as a connection between her and the world around her.
Who can become a "Lueirx"?
All natural persons with full legal capacity, and legal entities with the approval of their competent governing body, may become members of the association, provided they have no outstanding debts with the association and, in all cases, respect its principles.
I am a minor, can I become a "Lueirx"?
If you are over 14 years old and have documented consent from your mother, father, or legal guardian, you may join us without any problem. Please contact us at info@pepaloba.org with the subject "LUEIRX: Minor", and we will explain the steps you need to follow to join us.
Under no circumstances should you send us any personal data about yourself or your family without prior authorization from your mother, father, or legal guardian.
How can I become a "Lueirx"?
1º.- Fill in the blank boxes with your details in the "Join" section of the website.
- If you are making the payment from Spain, you do not need to fill in the SWIFT/BIC section.
- In the case of selecting a different amount in the "Periodicity and amount" section, you must indicate the amount you want to contribute. Under no circumstances may it be less than the amount assigned for that period.
2º.- Once you complete the process, you must indicate that you accept the "privacy policy" and then click on "Send".
(Optional).- You can also download and print a SEPA mandate form in PDF format that will appear with your details already filled in, sign it physically, and then send it in one of these three ways:
- via fax: to (0034) 986 607 211.
- via regular mail: c/Augusto González Besada, 26, 36700, Tui, Pontevedra, Spain.
- via email: the scanned document with your details and your physical signature to info@pepaloba.org with the subject "LUEIRX: Registration".
Do I need to fill in the SWIFT/BIC code?
The SWIFT/BIC code is only required for those who make payments from outside Spain.
Do I need to send the SEPA mandate signed with my details? Isn't it enough to just fill in the data on the website?
Yes, it is enough, but signing the document ensures the collection of your membership fee without any problems in any scenario. And in case any issues arise with the banking institution, we have the capacity to act.
If you ever wish to stop paying the fee, no additional difficulty will be created for this reason. That document only affects the relationship between the association and the banking institution.
What frequency and fee amount can I choose for my contributions?
"Lueirxs" may choose between three payment frequencies:
- Quarterly: 15 euros is the minimum fee.
- Semi-annually: 30 euros is the minimum fee.
- Annually: 60 euros is the minimum fee.
Pepa Loba is a solidarity-based tool, made up of a non-remunerated structure, that seeks to adapt to each person's situation so that everyone can contribute their share. This is why the monthly average of each contribution option is 5 euros.
However, people who do not have sufficient financial resources to make this contribution but who, at the same time, wish to collaborate financially with the association, have the possibility of doing so through donations on a regular basis or whenever they consider it appropriate.
When are the fees collected?
This is done:
- Quarterly: between January 1st–15th; April 1st–15th; July 1st–15th; October 1st–15th.
- Semi-annually: between January 1st–15th and July 1st–15th.
- Annually: between January 1st–15th.
Regardless of the date on which a person becomes a member, the charge will be made in full and will not be refundable.
Do membership fees qualify for tax relief?
No. Pepa Loba does not accept any type of benefit or complicity from any government and, at the same time, aims for its members to be linked to it solely and exclusively for ideological, ethical, or value-based reasons.
