Hi Pine and Gerard,
We can investigate our registration options, and I'll discuss with Lisa. If
you have a specific registration that you recommend, please send them to me
directly.
Thanks,
Stephen

The Wikimedia Foundation is an "ANBI
registered charity" [1]. It means
that
Dutch people may deduct their gift from their
income.
In the Netherlands there is much more to tax deductibility, making it
easier to deduct money for taxes even more and increasing the amount of
money that may be had by the WMF..
At the time when the WMF itself became registered as such, it was clear
that it is possible to make it an European charity and by consequence
make
gifts in the whole of the European community tax
deductible.
I have in the past reached out to the WMF about this topic. I did not get
any reply. It is certain that the process can be optimised for the donors
and for the WMF in a meaningful way.
PS I am professionally involved in raising funds for charities in the
Netherlands. Ie I am not clueless.
Thanks,
