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.
