How is adium structured, legally? To my knowledge, Adium is not (officially) any type of organization. Certainly not one that can accept donations directly without a rather significant tax burden (like a 501c3 in the US). Historically, donations have been small and held in trust for Adium by an individual.
My biggest fear is record keeping and Adium being audited. My second biggest fear is that an individual will have to accept the donations and be saddled with the tax responsibility. That would suck. Its early here and I have not yet consumed my coffee, so I may be wrong on how we're legally structured. However, I'm certain we're not able to accept tax-deductible donations. -- Steve Typed with thumbs, not a lawyer, doesn't give legal advice On Jul 28, 2011, at 6:06 AM, Mike Houben <m...@crazyhstudio.net> wrote: > Greetings everyone, > > we just talked on the IRC to initiate a Fundraiser like Wikipedia does.
