The most straightforward method of international giving is through IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporations that have programs abroad. Individuals and corporations who make a contribution to a U.S. charitable organization are entitled to an income tax deduction under Internal Revenue Code Section 170. The contribution is deductible if made to, or for the use of, an exempt organization or generally for the benefit of the public. When giving to a U.S. 501(c)(3) in this manner, the donor is essentially funding a program or project of the nonprofit that they run abroad. Most U.S. citizens are familiar with this in the context of disaster relief campaigns, when a U.S.-based nonprofit will fundraise for relief efforts that are ongoing in other countries. The benefit of giving in such a way is that the donor has the right to earmark their donation for the foreign program, as long as the domestic charity has full control over its operations. However, if the donor is looking to tax-effectively support grassroots organizations located in a foreign country, this avenue does not permit such activity.
