What exactly does this donation campaign consist of?

Am I also entitled to tax benefits for the donation if I am a foreign donor?
Yes, the Garcia Peralta Foundation is a Spanish public utility foundation. According to the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Persche ruling C-318/07), foreign donors can apply the same tax benefits in their European Union (EU) member states as if they had donated to a public benefit organization in their own EU state.
