Matching Gifts
Your employer may have a Matching Gift Program which could double or triple the value of your gift.

Twenty-one European countries are now giving tax efficient benefits for cross-border philanthropic gifts and donations to help and support foreign charities. If you pay tax in a European country, you may be eligible to receive tax benefits as a result of the decision by the European Court of Justice in January 2009.

At a European level, Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) network is a practical and secure solution for tax-effective cross-border cash donations. TGE Partners includes 21 countries and enables donors resident in one of the participating countries to financially support nonprofit organisations in other Member States, while benefitting directly from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence.

European donors wishing to receive tax relief for cross-border donations, will need to contact their local partner office. For complete information please contact the Transnational Giving Europe (TGE).
