Would it be possible to set up tax deduction for Germany? I am considering donating and would be even more inclined to do that if a tax deduction was available; I may still donate even if that was not the case.
Yes! We now have tax-deductability in Germany via effektiv-spenden. Just send an email to me (habryka@lightconeinfrastructure.com) and Johanna Schröder (johanna.schroeder@effektiv-spenden.org) and we’ll send you payment details, and you get those sweet sweet government tax reductions.
I do not know. I asked them for a donation link, they said they just wanted people to email. I agree that this is a trivial inconvenience that will reduce donations, but in this case it’s not my call.
We just got our counter-signed fiscal sponsorship agreements from effektiv-spenden! I am waiting on hearing back about what the actual best way for people to now send us money through them is, but you can also send an email to anne.schulze@effektiv-spenden.org and I am confident she will respond.
I am working on it! What country would you want it for? Not all countries have charity tax-deductability, IIRC.

I am working on it! Will post here in the coming week or two about how it’s going.
Any news on this?

Okay, I’ll do that, but why do I have to send an email...?
Like, why isn’t the how-to like just in a comment? Alternately, why can’t I select Lightcone as an option on Effektiv-Spenden?
Unless there’s some legal reason, this seems like a weird unforced own-goal.

Did this already happen? :)

Estonia. (Alternatively, Poland, in which case: PLN, not EUR.)
Oh, glad I scrolled to find this comment. Adding a request for France, which does have charity tax deductions… but needs an appropriate receipt.

Does not look possible to have tax deductibility in France, no matter the indirection
