Were the Architectes des Bâtiments de France (ABF) consulted?

In this context, donations made in cash or in kind to the City of Paris may confer eligibility to a sponsorship scheme as long as they comply with the eligibility requirements laid out by this scheme and are free of donor cash considerations. You can refer to articles 200 and 238bis of the French general tax code.
