Yeah but ... well, I'm not going to patronise you here... but it would be a bit boring if the only thing you could do with the money was to transfer it to the Foundation, wouldn't it? ;-) It might also not look so good when you apply for tax exemption / deductibility (I don't know whether British authorities really scrutinize each applicant...but in Switzerland, something like this, viz. only spending money by forwarding, would be a major obstacle for the application to succeed).
