FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Giving Europe is a European network that makes cross-border giving simple, secure, and tax-effective. It enables donors to support non-profit organisations in other European countries while benefiting from the same tax advantages as donating at home.

Giving Europe allows you to donate to non-profit organisations across Europe with confidence. Your donation is processed through a trusted national partner in your country, ensuring proper tax treatment, secure transfers, and compliance with national regulations.

Non-profit organisations can receive donations from donors in multiple European countries without having to manage different tax systems or legal requirements. Giving Europe removes cross-border barriers and provides expert support, allowing organisations to focus on fundraising and their mission.

Yes. Donations made through Giving Europe are eligible for tax benefits in the donor’s home country, according to national tax laws, just as if the donation were made to a domestic organisation.

Donors make a national donation to their local Giving Europe partner. The partner issues a fiscal receipt and then transfers the donation internationally to the selected non-profit organisation, handling all administrative and tax-related aspects.

No. Giving Europe does not fundraise on behalf of non-profit organisations. It provides the infrastructure and support that allow organisations to activate their own cross-border fundraising activities.

Donors can explore eligible non-profit organisations and make a donation through their national Giving Europe partner. Non-profit organisations can apply to join the network by registering and completing the eligibility process.
