I would say so, insofar as a volunteer project can have an "official"
non-profit (there is no office to decide officiality). The idea when
creating it was to have a European counterpart to handle money transfers
within Europe more easily, leaving the US part to the FSF (as mentioned
by Andy, tax deductability is a nice incentive and depends on local
jurisdiction; for instance in France, only donations to European
non-profits can be deduced).

In practice, our money still is with the FSF, following a donation
campaign some years ago. There is a committee of three people that can
decide how this money is spent. Usually Guix Foundation advances expenses
(hosting, Guix Days organisation), then sends the receipts to the FSF
and gets reimbursed.

We could run our own donation campaign, but have not needed it yet
(the limiting factor of what we can do right now seems to be rather
humanpower than money).

Setting up credit card payments has been discussed at our yearly
assembly and will probably come soon™. We thought about the (nominal)
yearly membership fee, but this could easily be extended to donations.

Andreas
