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.
