Contemplating how to go about building a patreon fund for our staff who need the money

Anyone have any advice for this kind of thing? Do I need an LLC or something like that to distribute funds without any US tax burden?

@vahnj an llc allows for the most flexibility (i.e. no need for a board) and is the cheapest to incorporate iirc (been a minute) depending on where you do it. also yes, anything at all is much better than not incorporating.
@spinach sounds like LLC is the way to go
