GNOME Foundation is based in Orinda, California, United States

KDE e.V. is based in Berlin, Germany

Both have corporate and individiaul contributors from around the wold but these are not indentically distributed with Gnome being more popular in the US compared to the EU. Calling these two desktop environments "American" and "European" is of course not painting the full picture but it isn't entirely wrong either.
