Seminarium: Unlocking cross-border fundraising: Giving Europe, a practical solution for tax-efficient giving across Europe

Philanthropy in Europe faces a persistent challenge: it remains largely tax-inefficient. While the European Union guarantees fundamental freedoms like free trade and movement, cross-border philanthropy still suffers from unequal tax treatment. For fundraisers, this creates barriers to leveraging the growing number of European citizens and multinational corporations willing to make cross-border donations to support borderless causes and the nonprofits of their choice.

This seminar will be an opportunity to present the Giving Europe network and the actionable solutions the organization have developed to navigate these challenges and support European generosity. Through valuable data, examples of cross-border fundraising activities, participants will dive into techniques and best practices derived from the 30-year long history and experience of Giving Europe. The seminar will explore real-world cases, such as how charities, museums and other non-profit entities leverage Giving Europe to unlock international support and expand their fundraising across borders.
