Role
To set-up the legal status of the Dream Foundation, its aims, its projects, and raise its funds. This Tikina is, perhaps with the exception of the island tikina, going to take the most work. It should be considered that whoever takes on the responsibility of running the Dream Foundation might be paid out of the funds its raises.

Current issues

F2. Can Trustees be paid for their duties?
The Short Answer
Generally, no. Most Trustees are unpaid, and must not benefit in any way from their connection with the charity. There are limited exceptions to this rule.
In More Detail
Prohibited benefits: Trustees are not entitled to receive any payment out of the charity’s funds other than reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses, such as the cost of travel to attend Trustee meetings. Additionally, they must not benefit, either directly or indirectly, from the charity by, for instance:
taking a lease of the charity’s property; borrowing money from the charity; or making contracts to do business with the charity.
