Learn how growing philanthropic trends are harnessing giving opportunities with tax benefits for companies and individuals in Europe.<\/p>\n<h3>The expansion of philanthropy in Europe<\/h3>\n<p>Most of Europe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/efa-net.eu\/news\/european-philanthropy-manifesto-calls-for-single-market-for-philanthropy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">180,000 foundations<\/a> have emerged in the last 20 years, and they donate an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/efa-net.eu\/news\/european-philanthropy-manifesto-calls-for-single-market-for-philanthropy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u20ac60 billion<\/a> annually to the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A52021DC0778\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2.8 million charitable organisations<\/a> across the European Union countries. Germany and France are the largest European philanthropic markets in size, wealth, and growth. On average, the nonprofit sector typically contributes around <a href=\"https:\/\/philea.eu\/philanthropy-in-europe\/about-philanthropy\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">5% of a European country\u2019s GDP<\/a>. In France, the charitable sector employs <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A52021DC0778\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">10% of the French workforce and generates 10% of the country\u2019s GDP<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The number of registered international nonprofit organisations (INPOs) in Europe has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/meetdocs\/2014_2019\/plmrep\/COMMITTEES\/JURI\/DV\/2021\/05-11\/Study_StatuteforEuropeancross-borderassociationsandnon-profitorganisations_EN.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">grown by 30% since 2010<\/a>, indicating an appetite for supporting causes that transcend borders. Belgium hosts the largest number of INPOs, followed by Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Wealth in Europe is growing, which correlates with increased European philanthropic trends. High-net-worth individuals and families have been increasingly giving back to society through philanthropy. According to Oxfam, since 2020, billionaires in the EU have increased their accumulated wealth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfam.org\/en\/press-releases\/wealth-eus-five-richest-men-soars-almost-6-million-euros-every-hour-2020\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">by one-third<\/a>, reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfam.org\/en\/press-releases\/wealth-eus-five-richest-men-soars-almost-6-million-euros-every-hour-2020\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u20ac1.9 trillion in 2023<\/a>.

Donors are looking to give, and the average size of donations is generally increasing, even in cases where the trend shows fewer individual donations, like in France, for example.<\/p>\n<h3>Increased opportunities to give through tax incentives<\/h3>\n<p>European governments encourage individuals and businesses to engage in charitable giving through tax incentives\u2014a growing trend of philanthropy in Europe. Governmental tax incentives for donors and recipient organisations are prevalent across Europe. For instance, individuals in Germany can deduct <a href=\"https:\/\/cof.org\/content\/nonprofit-law-germany\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">up to 20%<\/a> of their pre-tax income as a donation to a nonprofit organisation\u2014Unsurprisingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deinadieu.de\/en\/effective-legacy-fundraising-in-germany-deinadieu\/#:~:text=The%20German%20population%20likes%20to,up%20opportunities%20for%20testamentary%20giving\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">50% of Germans<\/a> donate to charity every year. <\/p>\n<p>In France, where individuals can claim a <a href=\"https:\/\/efa-net.eu\/news\/generosity-on-the-rise-in-france-with-e8-5-billion-donated-in-2019#:~:text=Produced%20by%20the%20Fondation%20de,increase%20of%20119%25%20since%202010\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduction of 66%<\/a> from their income tax for the amount donated or a <a href=\"https:\/\/efa-net.eu\/news\/generosity-on-the-rise-in-france-with-e8-5-billion-donated-in-2019#:~:text=Produced%20by%20the%20Fondation%20de,increase%20of%20119%25%20since%202010\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reduction of 75%<\/a> from wealth tax, the number of individual donations declared to the French tax authorities <a href=\"https:\/\/efa-net.eu\/news\/generosity-on-the-rise-in-france-with-e8-5-billion-donated-in-2019#:~:text=Produced%20by%20the%20Fondation%20de,increase%20of%20119%25%20since%202010\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">doubled between 2010 and 2021<\/a>.

Collaboration among philanthropic organisations, businesses, and governments is becoming more common\u2014another growing trend for philanthropy in Europe. Online platforms remove barriers to giving and facilitate connectivity and collaboration among donors and nonprofits. <\/p>\n<p>In the last two decades, philanthropy in Europe has undergone huge growth, supporting tax-efficient donations and collaboration, resulting in more effective and impactful giving in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>GlobalGiving connects nonprofits and donors in nearly every country around the world.
