OSE actually has it on its roadmap: https://github.com/osendowment/foundation/blob/main/roadmap.... Most likely we won't create our own subsidiaries, but will partner with local nonprofits (suggestions are welcome), which could make donations tax-deductible for UK/EU residents. As for grants, we are totally fine with supporting European open source maintainers now. OSE has a global scope, limited only by the available payment infra and US regulations.

Kinda up to you. Recruit your friends to join if you want a say. :^) > Individuals contributing at least $1,000/year to the endowment fund qualify as OSE Members. Members advise the OSE board on strategic matters, such as the grant-making model, and appoint community-nominated board directors. These rights are legally defined in our membership policy. https://github.com/osendowment/foundation?tab=readme-ov-file...
