The arithmetic of a donation
Two thirds of your gift come back to you
French tax law returns 66% of a donation to a public-interest association as an income-tax reduction — 75% up to €1,000 a year when the gift funds food, care or shelter for people in difficulty. It is the best-kept open secret of generosity.
