Readers might be interested in the EA Donation Swap system, which increases the overall tax-deductibility of EA donations, without people having to change the organisation they support.
An example of how it works: - Cara from Australia wants to the Good Food Institute (which is registered in Canada but not Australia) - Sam from Canada wants to donate to AMF (which is registered in both countries). Cara and Sam are matched through the EA Donation Swap website, and agree to swap donations, resulting in Sam donating to the Good Food Institute (and getting his tax-deduction), and Cara donating to AMF (and getting her tax-deduction).
We’ve also arranged swaps when one recipient organisation is NOT a registered charity in any country, and the swap results in one donor getting tax-deduction, which they wouldn’t have done without the swap.
At the moment we are very constrained by Global Health and Poverty donors from countries with a lot of EA charities (UK, US, Canada) and countries with no EA charities—so if you are in this boat contact us! This constraint means we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to find you a matching donor.
