Thanks so much for doing this! I think that it is very important to have a patient philanthropy fund.
While it’s great that donations to the fund will be tax-deductible in the USA, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, I’d really like to see tax deductibility status across a wider range of countries. It would be great if patient philanthropy was never disincentivised by being tax inefficient relative to alternatives.
A dedicated group of local EAs could potentially help.
Just mentioning the above as an idea for the future. Thanks again!
Thanks for raising this Peter; I agree it would be great to have tax-deductible donation options from other countries as well, and we’d love for local EA groups to pick this up. It’s unfortunately not something we as Founders Pledge can prioritize, as we’d expect the total size of these donations to be relatively small compared to those of our members (who can use the Founders Pledge Donor-Advised Funds) and of non-members living in the three geographies you mention.
