Seems like the simplest option would be to start with an umbrella (completely separate from everything to-date), operate with the umbrella for a little while to make sure we're happy, and then have the Foundation donate everything it has left after settling accounts to the umbrella. Why would we need to start a 501c3 just to dissolve it and donate it to the umbrella, when the umbrella is already going to be a 501c3? 501c3s are not limited in receiving money only from other 501c3s. If anything they're more limited in who they can give their money to. -- Rich
