Help a Canadian give with a tax-deduction by swapping donations with them!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, no popular effective altruist charities are registered in Australia yet, so I don't think this is possible to do there.

Also note that even if there were a tax-deductible EA charity in Australia, it's not at all clear that your donation to the Australian charity would be tax deductible if your actual purpose was to donate via a swap to a non-tax-deductible charity.

It might be good to have Charity Science coordinate this, as they're trying to expand tax deductibility in Canada.

Commenting here to express my willingness to participate, however this pans out. I expect my contribution won't be more than a couple hundred dollars.

Note that doing this is completely legal

Would it still be completely legal if there was a more automatic and markety way of organizing this, such as certificates of impact? At what point does a system of exchange become too much like money and hence taxable?

I'm going to be donating ~$1K to AMF (Update: now $1.5k) from the US in early January 2015. Please let me know how I can help.

I strongly expect to give a large amount of money to AMF (>$10000) over the next few months. Happy to help.

I'm from the UK.

I'm not sure if I'm donating to AMF this year, but we're hosting a Donation Decision Day in Seattle on December 28th, and there will probably be people there donating. Who should I contact if we have people that are donating to AMF?
