>> Dear members of NPOC,
>>
>> For 2+ years we have been talking about setting up an NGO to have a legal
>> entity that is able to collect donations and other payments for projects
>> that NPOC is doing.
>>
>> Some obvious benefits as an NGO include:
>>
>> 1) $10 000 Google ads money MONTHLY
>> 2) To be able to accept donations and project funding from organisations
>> like the PIR
>> 3) Having a registered NGO in Estonia means we can open a bank account
>> there and with the help of the Estonian digital citizenship (100€ per
>> person), we can manage our account from overseas AND change signatories for
>> it, without ever visiting Estonia after the organisation is registered.
>>
>> What we need to do:
>>
>> 1) Finish the draft of the charter of the NGO.
>> 2) Pay one Estonian guy 200€ for
>> - Translation
>> - processing our registration
>> - becoming board member for the first term
>> - putting his address as the address of the NGO
>> 3) Paying for the registration of the NGO to the Estonian government
>> (<€100)
>> 4) Open a bank account and have two of three board members (two from NPOC
>> EC) get the Estonian digital citizenship
>> 5) Pay €100 for each signatory
>> 6) Pay €100 for me to go to Estonia and sort out the final steps in a day
>> or two.
>>
>> So that's approximately 200 (Estonian guy) + 200 (two signatories) + 100
>> (registration fee) + 100 (My trip to Estonia) = €600 altogether
>>
>> I am sure there will be questions for a big decision like this, so
>> please, let it rain! I'll try to answer them all, best to my knowledge. :)
