Just got confirmation from Effektiv Spenden (with Mieux Donner input) that having this “fiscal sponsorship” setup does not change anything to whether a foreign org can receive tax-deductible donations from France.
Seems that no amount of indirection can enable Lightcone to be tax-deductible in France, short of actually having operations in France.
For now, it’s still unclear whether donations will be tax-deductible in France. I’ll contact Effektiv Spenden to check.
If they’re not, let me know by December 27th and I’ll be happy to do the swap after all!

Just a message to confirm: Zac’s leg of the trade has been executed for $810. Thanks Lucie for those $810!
