I checked quickly and the system of tax deductible donations is different 
per country. In the Belgian law, it is clear that only _Belgian_ NFP's 
(Not For Profit's) with a cultural or social goal can receive tax-deductible 
donations. In Belgium it is per year, minimum 30 EURO (since 2003) and max 
(10% of income or 250,000 EURO whichever is less). In Holland, it is 
between 1% and 10% of income (with a max on the income), with a franchise 
of the first 1%. 

One source I found is Amnesty International, that has well documented 
web sites in each country about the fiscal effects (amnesty.be; 
amnesty.nl; ...).

So, if tax deductible aspect is really important, it now seems to me that
it might be required to set-up a branch of the NFP in each European country.
