Hi folks,

My suggestion was to use a personal account to collect and then disburse the
income, which would probably trigger income tax, as BRM mentioned in his
response. (I don't know with any certainty, though.)
Another platform like Kickstarter ishttp://www.indiegogo.com/
According to their site, you can "Start your campaign from any country in the world
as long as you have a valid bank account."
It also lets you collect pledged funds even if you don't meet your overall
goal, but it charges fees of 4 or 9% (the higher fee if you don't meet your
full goal, the lower fee if you do). Not sure what Kickstarter's fee structure
is to compare.
I guess it would be best if a nonprofit like OOoDeV would do the thing,
as otherwise, tax issues arise and there is no tax-deductibility.
If you know of a service we can use as German nonprofit, I'm happy to
look into it. :)
