I asked impots.gouv about effektiv spenden specifically, outlining how their scope would make donations to a similar French non profit eligible to a tax deduction in France.
The response from the administration was that “as mentioned on impots.gouv.fr, these donations are deductible”.
After a chat with ES, my understanding is that it’s up to every European country to decide what their definition of “charitable” entails, and whether a particular non profit falls under it (regardless of how it would be perceived in their country of origin). This is coherent with the financial advisor’s response as far as I can tell.
Ultimately, it might be worth doing the leg work beforehand and get confirmation from the tax office on a case by case basis.
Thanks for the additional data points.
