Canada
Because of the way that Canadian law works, in order to offer your donors Canadian tax-receipts, you'll first upload a description of a specific project that you'd like to raise funds for (from Canadian donors). Our Canadian partner Canada Charity Partners (CCP) will then evaluate the project and decide whether to adopt it. If it does, you'll become a contractor of Canada Charity Partners in the fulfillment of the project. You'll receive the funds in this manner:
Donors will donate online, by check, or bank transfer, and receive tax-receipts from CCP.
Canada Charity Partners will inform you by email that a new donation has been received.
You'll then go off and invest in the project (buy goods and services, pay salaries, etc.) and then upload to your account your invoices and expense receipts.
Canada Charity Partners will review the expenses and if approved, will send you a wire transfer of the funds, up to the amount that was contributed by donors.
When submitting a project, you'll need to provide the following information:
The name of the project
A description of how the project will be carried out, its deliverables, milestones and goals.
What is the area or geographic region/cities in which the activity will be carried out?
Who specifically will benefit from the project (e.g. socio-economic situation and location)?
What will be the selection criteria of the project's beneficiaries?
When will the activity begin and end (there must be an ending date)? Identify a timeframe of 1-5 years.
What is your project's total budget?
France
Fonds de Dotation IG (FDD-IG) is a French charity that can facilitate tax-deductible giving from French donors to international projects, including those carried out in Israel. Once approved, your donors will donate to FDD-IG, a French charity who issues them a tax-deductible CERFA receipt for the full amount of the donation. FDD-IG will then donate the funds to your organization, for a specific project that you will conduct for FDD-IG.
The project that you operate in Israel, and on behalf of FDD-IG, must be in one of the following areas.
Emergency operations to deal with disasters of an unforeseeable and occasional nature, whatever their cause.
