Fundraiser set up to rebuild Notre-Dame
A fundraiser to ‘rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris’ has started on the homepage of the Fondation de France.
Donations made via this site benefit from a 66% tax credit, so for example a €50 donation will only cost you €17 after a refund from the French tax office, if you are a taxpayer in France.
People can give any amount, from €1, via bank card or PayPal account.
The fondation is a national agency that encourages donations for good works.
