Like Gerold already suggested too, this is a maximum contribution fee
the NPO can request from it's members, and maximums are often high. I
would not expect to see this maximum reached, ever, but from a legal
point of view the NPO must have /a/ maximum. So you choose one that is
not insanely high, but will also not limit you for many, many years to
come. Money devaluates over time and given that the General Members
Meeting must unanimously agree on raising or lowering this maximum,
having to do so every 5, 10 or even 20 years would become a problem for
any organization.
Ok, that's the reason in favor of such a high amount. Are there no
contras then? I know that in some countries the maximum fee is important
when it gets to liability but AFAIK this is not the case in Germany (at
least not with an e.V.). Something else to consider?
...if not, I'd say 1,000 Euro is fair.
What initial fee are you going to propose at the formation, anyway?
