Because I’ve mentioned this in another context without linking back here, just to push the thread in the history.
Things I thought of today;
- Pan European (as a start) org. Is there such a thing for the purposes of tax exemption?
- It’s relatively ‘easy’ to start an NGO like entity, but national regulations quickly introduce a spaghetti mess of regulations. How does one manage hiring remote across borders for an NGO?
- What are the goals.
a) subsidize api usage (pure maps, osm scout, etc, etc)
b) create ‘internships’ or sabbaticals for app dev. / maintenance
c) if it’s a membership driven org (club like) yearly prios. of the membership?
d) bug bounties
e) classic open source / transparency objectives. - Can something like fundraising drives ( a yearly, some issue directed) succeed?
- What kinds of EU funding could one seek out.
I’m going to go speak to some organization people who are specialized in this to get some advice.
