18 June 2009: Transnational Giving Europe extends to Luxembourg
Good news for cross-border giving.
A donor, resident in one of the participating countries, wishing to make a gift to a public interest organisation in one of the other member countries can contact the foundation in the country of his/her residence. The home foundation establishes contact with the foundation in the recipient country for an assessment of the beneficiary (which is another non-profit organisation). If the evaluation is positive, the donor makes the gift to his home-country foundation, which provides the donor with a tax receipt and pays the gift to the recipient country foundation in favour of the beneficiary organisation.
