[OSM-legal-talk] Foundation acknowledged as non-profit?

[Jeffrey Martin]

I think most international organizations create a branch in each country
and then you can just donate to your local branch.

The branch in each country can then pay dues to the international organization
or in some cases the international body can provide funding for projects in the
local countries.
