verge of  starting an endowment…..Let me know if you want to talk….I am new

Fellow Gothamites,

I am looking for advice about possibly starting a non-profit.  My company
is currently an LLC but I am finding that a portion of my business is more
mission driven than profit driven, and I am wondering if it makes sense to
spin off part of the company into a not for profit foundation.  Does anyone
have experience with this?  I am most interested in hearing from folks who
have started their own non-profits and/or are currently running their own
non-profits.  I am not ready to talk to lawyers yet about filing papers.  I
really want to explore what it means to head a non profit foundation.
