Yes, I guess I have translated that wrong. But none the less I think a Nim association would qualify for being charitable. According to § 52 AO ([DE](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/ao_1977/__52.html)/[EN](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_ao/englisch_ao.html#p0441)), there a multiple points nim would qualify for including _1\. the advancement of science and research_ & _7\. the advancement of upbringing, adult education and vocational training including assistance for students_. This would include but not be limited to support of the Nim Programming Language and development of technical advancements and teaching of said technologies via events/documentation/workshops/etc.
For Example KDE they state in their bylaws : > The purpose of the association is the promotion and dissemination of free > desktop software in the sense of free software with special consideration of > the program package "K Desktop Environment (KDE)" in order to support the > free exchange of knowledge and equal opportunities for access to software as > well as popular education, science and research. > > The purpose of the articles of association is particularly realized by > > promoting education, exchange of views and collaboration between users, > developers and researchers > > Research and discussion on the impact of free desktop software and the idea > of free software on society and science > > the further development and research of free desktop software > > the provision of free desktop software, supporting images, sounds, data and > documentation as well as the promotion of their availability and the creation > and dissemination of information material about it > > Contribution to the professional information of the public in the area of > activity of the association and participation in trade fairs and congresses > in order to make the information accessible to a broader spectrum of users > > Organization of congresses and generally accessible lectures for further > training of project participants and users > > the preservation of the free rights of the project participants to protect > against the commercial interests of third parties So it's possible and I think it would be well deserved for nim, maybe in case of a founding we should consider visiting a legal professional to collect our thoughts and charitable purposes.
