Perhaps the thing to do is create a central, top-level entity that can do those 3 things above (legal standing, receive money, pay money) first.
Then it might actually be much easier to create national tax-deductible foundations which are member organizations of that top level entity. The national organizations can pass donations up to the global entity as legitimate charitable organization expenses. At least, such a scheme would work in the U.S.
I very much agree: national organisations are hard to do, especially in Europe where there is a lot of fragmentation. If we leave out tax deduction first, we'll have much less to worry about. Steven Wittens
