Executive summary: The post outlines procedures for making donations to European organizations tax-deductible in France, including legal requirements, potential strategies, and recommendations for specific organizations.
Key points:
French tax law allows for significant deductions on charitable donations, up to 66-75% for individuals and 60% for companies.
To be tax-deductible in France, organizations must be of general interest, located in the EU/EEA, and meet specific criteria.
Three potential strategies for ensuring tax deductibility: joining Trans-Giving Europe (TGE), obtaining “general interest” status, or using legal protection for regranting organizations.
Recommended procedure involves gathering evidence, obtaining legal advice, and storing documentation to protect donors and regranting organizations.
Cost-benefit analysis suggests implementing this procedure for 4 specific EEA-based organizations recommended by international evaluators.
Open questions remain regarding funding for the initial procedure and who should act as the regranting organization.
