I think what you mean is, what country does the recipient live. The
pledgers have nothing to do with this.

What you are describing is two separate things. Legal tax evasion is
legal, just bad PR. In order to fall into a category where tax evasion is
cost effective, a company must make magnitudes more than what we are
talking about and be able to afford a headquarters building stationed in a
different country with lower corporate taxes.
We won't have corporate taxes. If we ever do form, it will probably be
done (at least at first) as a non-profit, so tax evasion isn't an issue.
Legal advice is a good thing to have, however this is common enough that
there are cookie-cutter services (such as LegalZoom) which can give a
compliance checklist without all of the attorney fees.
So if we can set speculative conversation aside, this is all handled by a
good lead person on this, which is really what we need... someone to manage
it.
We need someone to say "Ok, I'll do this". The rest will fall into place
naturally I believe. I constantly bring up the money problem because I
want to squash the idea that there's no such thing as too much money. Too
much money (and how we plan on spending it) is a huge risk if we were to
just start a campaign blindly without a plan.
