Tax-Advantaged Donations
Donations to MIRI are tax-deductible in the USA as a result of our IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (EIN:58-2565917).
Residents of a number of other countries can also claim tax benefits when supporting us. While we’re not experts in international tax, we’d like to provide some resources here to help our supporters. Select your country/region to learn more.

European Union
The European Court of Justice ruling in the Persche case (2009) opened the door for cross-border charity donations within the EU to be tax-deductible for donors resident in countries where charitable donations are tax-advantaged. The ruling’s application across the Union is thus far, highly variable, with a number of donors in some countries (e.g., Denmark and France) reporting that they are now being granted tax benefits for donating to charitable organizations in other EU countries. Tax residents in some other EU countries, however, report that obstacles still exist (e.g., Austria).
What implications does this have for donating to MIRI? In theory, donations made to MIRI through Effektiv Spenden should confer tax benefits to donors in Germany and other EU countries where tax relief is available on charitable donations.
If you are tax-resident in a EU country other than Czechia, Germany, Switzerland, or Netherlands and are interested in helping MIRI explore the implications of the above in your tax domain, please contact development@intelligence.org.
Canada
In recent years, many Canadian tax residents have made tax-effective donations to MIRI via Rethink Charity but, as of July 2023, this channel is paused.
