There is no specific law in Germany for non-profits. You have to
distinguish between all the possible legal forms for an association.
The FSFE is a German eingetragener Verein which has only very few legal
requirements so that the Verein can will define its rules in its
constitution.
A charitable Verein is a bit more restricted as a general Verein. For
example it is not allowed to issue a receipt for donations received for
an exchange. Demanding a fixed purpose for a donation would may be such
an exchange.
