I’d love to donate to Lightcone ~5K€ next year, but as long as it’s not tax-deductible in France I’ll keep to French AI safety orgs as the French non-profit donation tax break is stupidly good: it can basically triple the donation amount and reduce income tax to 0.
I know that Mieux Donner, a new French effective giving org, is acting as French tax-deductible front for a number of EA organisations. I’ll contact them to check whether they could forward a donation to Lightcone and give an update under this comment.
My bad, I mistook Mieux Donner for an older organisation that was trying to setup this.
I checked online, and it does not seem that it’s possible to get the deduction for non-profits outside the EU even through a proxy, except if their action is related to France or is humanitarian.

That would be great! Let’s hope they say yes :)
