Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) is a partnership of leading European philanthropic organizations that coordinates cross-border giving.
If you’re a taxpayer (either an individual or organization) in one of the TGE countries, you may benefit from the tax advantages provided by law in your country. To qualify for a potential tax advantage, you must make your gift to Penn through a TGE foundation partner, which will transfer the gift to The University of Pennsylvania (USA) Foundation, Penn’s registered charity in the United Kingdom.

*Please note, gifts given via TGE are subject to each foundation partner’s acceptance policies, as well as a five percent TGE operational fee on giving up to €100,000 and degressive fees for larger gifts.
