Have you considered registering your foundation in another country? For example The Document Foundation - the non-profit organization behind Libre Office - is legally registered in Germany. Here is what Florian Effenberger the foundation's Executive Director had to say about the decision to register in Germany in an interview in 2011 (my translation): "You have decided to establish the Document Foundation in Germany. Why should it become a foundation under German law? A lot of people have asked whether it is necessary to establish the Document Foundation in Germany, because such a large amount of foundation capital is required here. In contrast, countries such as Great Britain or the United States offer similar legal constructs for a foundation without the requirement for a high foundation capital. The Steering Committee, after a thorough investigation, decided in a public telephone conference that the location of registration of the future foundation should ideally be Germany. Germany is the best choice for the future foundation for several reasons: Not only do German foundations stand for security, stability, and trustworthiness, but Germany also has a large distribution of free and open source software. The roots of the product lie in Germany in the mid-1980s. In addition, Germany offers advantages in terms of taxes, tax deductibility for donors, as well as in terms of the foundation's activities, which are not restricted to a specific country from Germany. Most importantly, many active members of the community who are willing to advance the Foundation are from Germany. Even if other countries would require fewer resources to set up the Foundation - if people who are willing to advance the Foundation are not on site, there would be higher costs for representatives and lawyers. Ultimately, however, a solid financial basis for the foundation would also be required in other countries."
