Some frenchies can create a non profit organisation and contact me about how to handle that kind of money to avoid getting income tax about that. You just need to be very strict on about you handle money and how / what you spend it.
Also in franch mayors can send you money (in fact they have to send you money if you claim it) for example to find funds to prepare a pike conference.
I have some experience about that, so if there is frenchies here who want to start such project, just contact me in private.
(I cannot handle that myself, I have enougth work with my own on profit organisation, work, real life, and.... others things...).
