How do I register a nonprofit foundation in Panama and get authorization to collect public donations?

Question

I want to start a small charity in Panama to support school supplies and accept donations from the public and local companies. I’m not sure what entity type to use, what filings are required, or what rules apply to fundraising and reporting. What steps and documents are needed, and how long does it usually take?
