Making a donation to a recognised charitable foundation, such as the Fondation Audencia, which is sheltered by the Fondation de France, is still the only way to obtain an IFI reduction. The IFI donation allows you to reduce your Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière by 75% of the amount of your donation (up to a maximum deduction of €50,000, i.e. a donation of €66,667), or even to reduce it to zero.
