Sorry to be so active on the list today... but one of my recent questions about operating philosophies is still an issue and I'm looking for data.

For those of you run as nonprofits, I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me:
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1) Is your foundation tied specifically to a space, or operating in support of one or more spaces in an area?
</div>
<div>
2) How are your Board members elected/selected?
</div>
<div>
3) What are your thoughts on your connection to the Make community-- are you a representative body? Corporate-styled authority? Separate but supporting?
</div>
<div>
4) If you take a bottom-up, grassroots, community-first approach to governance, have you found that to be a hindrance for sponsorships and donations?
</div>

Thanks to any and all respondents.
