it's not sooo hard in Germany. The goals of the e.V. just have to be
charitable and non-commercial. And you have to write it down in a way
the finance authorities accept it. If they do you get tax deductible
for some years. Afaik now they check that again every two or three years.

I think an e.V. is the correct thing for us, but I will look for other
corporation types, too.
