Regarding the US, OC Europe has been certified as equivalent to Public Charity by NGOsource. U.S. funders, including private foundations, can treat a non-U.S. organization as equivalent to a U.S. public charity if the non-U.S. organization goes through the equivalency determination process.
We also have a Fund in the US that allows US citizens to make tax-deductible donations to your collective.
