We are in contact with them. But not to worry, we plan to obtain the approval this year which would make all donations made in 2023 tax deductible, even before we got the official approval.

Hi Joseph
You are very right that the causes and charities are no different than other EA platforms.We believe this to be a new chapter for charity donations for the part of the donor-market who are not familiar with EA. By improving the overall donor experience we believe we can reach new people who would love to start donating but lack a tailored, optimized donor experience.
Currently, we are launching our MVP but during the coming months and years we have ambitious plans to bring the experience into another league.
Hope this answer :)

Our goal is to expand and have an international focus, not only focus on Denmark. We are also trying to get more people to give to effective charities but we recognize that some donors seek a donor experience where they get a deeper understanding of the impact they are providing, not just by knowing that “this is the most effective impact I can create with my donations”.
We have teamed up with each charity individually and they will consistently create impact stories and updates for our community of donors. Also, they will take part in educational and awareness related activities and help provide engaging content for the donor community.
Lastly, we are working on new ideas of how to scale our donorbase. Typically, this has been done organically and through events, but we are working on integrating to salary platforms so that they can provide automated donations through payslips for their clients and the client’s employees.
A note on giveffektivt.dk; since we have started working on DGM, we have been in contact with the team. They have helped us get off the ground from day 1 and we are continuously having dialogues on how we best can help each other.
Our common goal is simple; whether the donations to effective charities go through DGM or giveffektivt.dk is less important.
