existing foundation as a short-cut won’t work either. To succeed,

existing groups, there are in my experience always factors that
differ. If those unique factors can’t be eliminated, the only
answer will be a new incorporation. Given the bureaucracy involved
in starting and sustaining a charity it’s worth avoiding it you
can, but it’s better than force-fitting your community into the
wrong structure.”
