I have been reading up on starting an non-profit organization.. and it would need some real work and commitment. I have been looking on other potential countries than US and they all seam demanding more or less. But we could always go for a non non-profit structure... It will be more costly but it might not need as much paperwork. If we decide upon US then we will need to file a EIN number and a 1023 form first and then the 503(c)3. Found a good site here that explains it. Another way would be Google Checkout. They are similar. Kickstarter might come in handy sometime.
