Transnational Giving Europe’s Post

🌍 A step forward for European Philanthropy 👇 The King Baudouin Foundation, together with @Philea and its partners in the Lex Mundi network, has just launched an update on how to simplify cross-border donations across the EU✨ Introducing "How to Become a True European Foundation in a (Not Yet) Single Market for Philanthropy." This guide offers vital insights and practical steps for donors, beneficiaries, and policymakers to navigate and enhance cross-border giving. 🌐 Key Highlights: 🔹 Tax incentives for donations to foreign NPOs available in 26 Member States. 🔹 Comparability-based tax incentives in 24 Member States. 🔹 Registration as a foreign-based NPO possible in 15 Member States.

Our new guide aims to break down these barriers, fostering greater European solidarity and innovation in the nonprofit sector. 🌟🤝 This resource is now available to support NPOs and philanthropists across Europe. It comes with the report "Cross-border Philanthropy: The State of the Union in European-wide Giving," which covers the principles, economic impact, challenges, and future of cross-border giving in the EU. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e66irZAN Ludwig Forrest Brieuc Van Damme #Philanthropy #CrossBorderGiving #EuropeanUnion #KingBaudouinFoundation #Solidarity #Innovation #GivingEurope

👏🏻 Recently, I celebrated the European Commission's adoption of a proposal aimed at facilitating cross-border activities for non-profit associations within the EU. This initiative seeks to eliminate legal and administrative barriers for non-profit associations operating in or intending to operate in multiple Member States. 👏🏻 Taking another significant step, Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association has launched a call urging European policymakers to collaborate on establishing a Single Market for Philanthropy, known as The European Philanthropy Manifesto. 📣 ☑️ Philanthropy plays a crucial role in supporting civil society and the social economy, complementing government and private sector endeavors. ☑️ However, philanthropic actors face growing challenges due to regulatory obstacles and a complex political climate, particularly in cross-border operations. Overregulation and a mix of old and new barriers hinder their activities. ☑️ It is imperative for philanthropic actors to have the freedom for cross-border recognition, legal transfers, mergers, fund flow, non-discriminatory tax treatment, and an enabling operating space. ☑️ The introduction of a legal form for non-profit associations designed for cross-border purposes can streamline operations, enhance accountability, and facilitate cooperation, ultimately contributing to more effective efforts in addressing complex global challenges. Looking forward to experiencing additional advancements in 2024! 😉 👉🏻 Read the article by following this link: https://buff.ly/48thn2K __ #Philanthropy #Fundraising #Nonprofit #PositiveChange #Systemschange #Europe __ 🔔 I regularly share content about fundraising.

"In a world increasingly defined by uncertainty and complexity, collaboration offers a beacon of hope. But to truly unlock its potential, we must commit to doing it right—building trust, embracing agility, and committing to the long-term." - Me. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity for tackling complex issues like #ClimateChange and systemic inequality. Drawing from insights from the Independent Philanthropy Association of South Africa 2023 Collaboration Case Studies, my latest article highlights how collaboration can be a powerful strategy to amplify individual efforts and drive long-lasting, wide-reaching systemic change.
