Have you actually RTFM? :-)

The "notice" for form 2042 (income tax, which I assume is the one
you're filling in) has a paragraph about European entities on page 19.
http://www.impots.gouv.fr/portal/deploiement/p1/fichedescriptiveformulaire_9709/fichedescriptiveformulaire_9709.pdf

http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F426.xhtml confirms it.

The WHS website also has an explanation about that on
http://www.wauland.de/en/donation.html stating that it fits the
requirements.

So you can deduct 66% of your donation, up to 20% of your taxable
income. The appropriate location is 7VC.

Also take into account that we'd be transferring money both ways when
we want to pay something in Europe (travel reimbursements for
instance).
