It would be easier to set up a private fund that would provide a reward once a condition is satisfied.

Sure. Do what private individuals do when they are setting up a reward for a local criminal. Set up a private business account into which individuals can transfer funds. Keep the fund separate from other monies, and state that whatever is in that account gets dispersed when a condition is satisfied. This gives you the flexibility of having individuals directly mailing checks to the account, and if you wish to designate trustees, have them be able to provide numbers to interested parties.

Do you have any legal background ?

I think there might be A broader hurdle considering I would also need to not only follow federal law but also international law in this case.

xds,

I am an attorney in my professional life. I specialize in contract/business law, business creation, as well as estate prep and administration and immigration law.

There are broader rules, yes, but because I:
1. don't know your jurisdiction, I cannot make a reasonable comment
2. prefer to not give you specific legal advice because I do not want to make a privileged attorney-client relationship, especially online.
3. international rules only come to play if you want international people and entities to be able to provide into the fund, and that is something your question did not address.

Could you refer me to someone/entity that specializes in both local and international law ?

I tried to find some info on the ICC but they are probably not the way to go.
