Given that the amounts of money are relatively small and non-recurring, I 
would hope we can just pass them through Boost Consulting or some other 
volunteer. But whoever does it needs to check with their accountant to make 
sure such a pass-through would not be taxed.

Another alternative is to find an existing non-profit willing to do the pass 
through.
