We hope to broaden this as soon as possible, and to only temporarily
limit grants to US 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporations. Eventually we hope
to make grants to *any* individual or organization in furtherance of the
foundation's charter, i.e, to advance amateur digital radio and related
technologies -- anywhere in the world.
The IRS rules on nonprofits are there to ensure transparency and avoid
self-dealing. They're complex and we will have to navigate them very
carefully with advice from lawyers, accountants and auditors who
specialize in nonprofits.
This will not be the Trump Foundation.
