Ah, I see the keyword there is "association". I guess equivalent to saying "tax exempt organization" in US. Just organization would not have the same meaning. Sometimes also referred to as NPO, non profit organization. The US IRS code is 501, but there are many types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501%28c%29_organization#Types > Paypal is not for free, we receive a percentage of what is donated Paypal does charge the recipient a fee if they are a business or entity. Charities should have reduced fees if 501c3. https://www.paypal.com/charities/ https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees Some of that likely also comes from conversion fees. The previous one had some flat rates https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/cross-border-and-conversion-fees Depends on where the money is coming from and going to. > in France, for associations, a bank account is never free of charge. > In that regard, paypal is better than a bank account France may not be the best country for such entity. I am not sure you can turn things over to say SPI or SFC if the entity is in any country other than US. https://www.spi-inc.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_in_the_Public_Interest https://sfconservancy.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Freedom_Conservancy The 2nd is also connected to SFLC https://softwarefreedom.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Freedom_Law_Center -- William L.
