Donations earmarked for specific projects, that are almost outside the
scope of the organisation, can create legal issues that are extremely
expensive to correct.

Go talk to a lawyer that specialises in German Charity law, for more
specifics, as it relates specifically to the Document Foundation. A
lawyer in the US that specialises in 501(c)3 organisations, can outline
the issues within the US, which, whilst similar, can have very different
consequences in Germany.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
