Co Naissances is a registered association in France. Donations to qualifying French nonprofits are eligible for a tax reduction of 66% of the donated amount, up to 20% of your taxable income. Donations to organizations providing aid to people in need qualify for a 75% reduction up to a set ceiling.
Co Naissances is a French association under simple declaration (declaration simple) - the most common legal form for nonprofits in France, governed by the Loi du 1er juillet 1901. It is created by at least two persons and registered with the prefecture. It is registered in the Repertoire National des Associations (RNA), maintained by the French Ministry of the Interior, under RNA number W691082039.
You can verify Co Naissances's legal status in several ways. First, look up the RNA record directly on the JOAFE (Journal Officiel des Associations et Fondations d'Entreprise) at https://www.journal-officiel.gouv.fr/pages/associations-search-associations using RNA number W691082039. The result shows the official name, registered purpose, registered address, and date of creation. Second, check the Data Associations portal maintained by the DJEPVA (Direction de la Jeunesse, de l'Education Populaire et de la Vie Associative) at https://www.data-asso.fr/ - this aggregates RNA data with financial information (comptes annuels), public subsidies received, and employment data. Third, ask the organisation for its statuts (bylaws), its most recent rapport d'activite (annual report), and its comptes annuels (annual accounts). Legitimate French charities, especially those receiving public subsidies or donations exceeding 153,000 EUR per year, are required to publish these. If the RNA record exists, the purpose matches, and financial reports are available, the organisation is legitimate.
Contact Co Naissances directly for current donation methods. French charities typically accept bank transfers (virement bancaire via IBAN), cheques, online card payments, and recurring direct debits (prelevement automatique). Many use platforms like HelloAsso (France's leading free fundraising platform for associations), Hellodon, or their own website. For tax-deductible giving: donations to associations d'interet general and organismes d'utilite publique are eligible for a 66% income-tax reduction (reduction d'impot) up to 20% of taxable income, or 75% for organisations providing meals, shelter, or healthcare to the needy (up to 1,000 EUR per year, then 66% above that). The charity must issue a recu fiscal (tax receipt) for the donation to be deductible. Corporate donors (mecenat d'entreprise) can deduct 60% of donations up to 0.5% of turnover.
Co Naissances is based in Lyon, Rhône. France is divided into 101 departements across 18 regions (13 in metropolitan France plus 5 overseas).
