I would like to starta charitable educational trust in the US. I am unaware of anyone who has started such a thing, nor do I have much money to put in money from my pocket. I would like to know the legal formalities in starting charitable trust in the US.
There was an article called "Yes, you can start your own charitable foundation" by a writer at USA Today. Can’t reproduce it here, but you can read it online at the USA Today website.

This is a question for an experienced trust lawyer, not a bunch of anonymous helpers on Yahoo Answers.

Let’s see, you don’t have any money and won’t be funding the trust yourself, but you want to do what, start one and pay yourself to run it???
