At the end of 2020, during the 2nd review of the Finance Bill (PLF) for 2021, senators voted unanimously to maintain the 1,000-euro deductibility ceiling provided by the “Coluche Law” scheme. This additional tax deduction concerns charitable and humanitarian associations considered as “organizations helping people in difficulty”.

Under the “Coluche law” – sometimes also referred to as the ” Coluche amendment ” – donations to La Chaîne de l’Espoir are eligible for a 75% tax reduction, up to a limit of 1,000 euros. If your donation exceeds this amount, it is then subject to a 66% tax reduction.

If you make a donation of 200 euros to La Chaîne de l’Espoir to support sick children, a tax reduction of 75% will be applied.
For example: 200 x 75% = 150
This means a reduction of 150 euros on your income tax.
If your initial tax bill was 1,000 euros, your donation will reduce it to 850 euros.

This tax reduction equal to 75% of donations made to organizations helping the most disadvantaged, capped at 1,000 euros of donations and applicable in 2021, has been extended to 2022 and 2023.

On November 12, 2021, the Finance Committee’s amendment was adopted with a favorable opinion from the government. This text extends the 75% income tax reduction ceiling to 1,000 euros for donations made to associations that help the underprivileged (free provision of meals, housing and medical care) for 2 years, until December 31, 2023. Naturally, La Chaîne de l’Espoir is one of the associations benefiting from the “Loi Coluche” scheme.

Pass the hope and make a donation for children

From November 17, 2021 until the last day of December, La Chaîne de l’Espoir is launching its end-of-year campaign based on the message ” Je passe l’espoir” (“I pass on hope” ).

For the 3rd year running, this campaign puts the spotlight on children and the sun, the latter being a symbol of life and hope that shines across borders to share with those who need it most.

To save them and give them the same chances of survival and development, La Chaîne de l’Espoir treats and operates on children, contributes to health prevention and screening of schoolchildren, trains local medical teams and builds adapted health structures in nearly 30 countries around the world.
