Then obviously for that kind of Secretariat supporting action, you have to
go to Delaware for US sponsors and in Paris from the rest of the world with
your HQ in France, and write the minimum number of words in incorporating.
A polite no - what we should (have done by now) do is be organized such
that any and all contibutions from anyone, anywhere, allow the donor and
ourselves to enjoy the maximum financial benefit. This includes for both,
consideration of (at the least):
- matching contributions
- tax consequences
- accounting and reporting requirements
You know that there are two non-profit cultures. The US one where people
deducts and the interest of a action is judged by its sponsoring, and the
French where deductions are controlled and non-profits do not even report
if true non-profit. So US oriented actions should be administered in the
USA and the resto the world matters in France. Belgium and Switzerland
probably offer comparable yet more specific images. Switzerland is better
for International orgs (UN like) and Belgium (or Luxemburg) for European.
