The foundation is not a legal entity yet?  The paperwork must be 
"complex" or just having to deal with "regulation happy" and "paperwork 
happy" governments.

I know one local not-for-profit group that chartered a certain way that 
they did not know until too late that they were very limited in ways to 
raise funds.  They had a fund raiser written up in the papers and the 
State Tax people sent the group a nasty note telling them they broke 
several laws/regulations for non-profit fund raising and the fines were 
going to take most of the money raised away from them.  The current 
President was the co-founder and he just passed the buck to the 
Treasurer to fix the problem, when it was the President who started the 
fund raiser and the board of directors found out about it by reading the 
same article the government officials read.

So, the foundation charter/entity paperwork really needs to be done 
carefully and thereby needing lawyer who will know all the hidden 
regulations.  When I created Kracked Press Productions [no longer doing 
that work anymore and closed it down, mostly] the lawyer fees were high 
to protect me and mine from regulatory and legal issues.
