[TYPO3-sponsoring] Donation transfer through the FFIS e.V.

[Kian T. Gould]

Hi guys

I already got a response from my contact at the FFIS and his answers are 
the following:

1. The FFIS e.V. (http://www.ffis.de/) is VAT exempt and therefore 
developers do not need to write their invoices including VAT

2. The FFIS e.V. can send payments to developers within the EU without a 
problem, he still wants to check about Switzerland but for Stucki the 
Association budget should definitely be sufficient and if there are no 
other Swiss developers everyone else is covered

3. They can give us an online access to their accounting so all money 
transfer is transparent for the Association

4. They are currently not charging a fee for their work, but if it 
should get to a point of too much work for them they might wanna start 
to, but there is no concrete decision on this yet.


So all in all excellent news I would think. Can we do another sit 
together today maybe to discuss some more concrete steps? I would like 
to start implementing the different sponsoring options on the website. 
It would be great if we could setup a clear link in the main navigation 
saying "Donate" and have a simple Paypal form and other payment options 
available. I created something like that for one of my own associations 
http://panacea-films.com/donate.html and I am happy to set this all up 
on the page, if someone can give me a BE access to it.

All the best
Kian
