Like Ian said, at OSM US we've spent quite some cycles on how we could support local communities US-wide with paying meetup.com fees but no matter how you turn it you're looking at a non-neglectible administrative overhead to manage this plus the very real possibility of paying for meetup groups that have gone inactive. Funding locally is the most organic and effective approach. Funding locally is also a great opportunity to create an active trust of meetup hosts or involve a local company in OSM :-)
