Hoi, At the time I learned that there is the possibility of an European tax status. I do remember that it took several years of financial statements. This is something we can easily provide and also when the WMF does not quality as an organisation that is intended for the public good who is. Thanks, GerardM
Yes that means at least all of the European Community ....

Minor correction: this system in the Netherlands works the other way around: donors can get back a part of their donation through their tax reduction - it is not that the charity gets a bonus.
Interestingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has obtained this status (ANBI)
in
the Netherlands at the urging of the chapter several years ago
(2010/2011).
However, for some reason the WMF chooses not to advertize this (not so obvious) fact on the donation home page; which means that the donors are unaware that they can donate and get this reduction of their taxes
(indeed
up to 50% of the donation amount!). This is mindboggling to me - it
should
be an easy fix.
Strong +1. As an international movement who is fundraising globally this knowledge is (almost literally) gold.
