Hi!

Yes, the 501©3 status is only applicable in the US. And our understanding of international law is the same, the org needs to incorporate in each EU country to be able to give tax exemption status, a project that we just don't have the resources to handle. (Ideally, we hope that someone will work with us and incorporate OTW France and OTW Japan in the future.)

Thank you so much for your interest and your kindness re: donations! :)

(And hey, would you mind if I e-mailed you to ask you some questions about fandom in mainland Europe? Either way, thank you!)
