Heh, I wonder who would run this organization, who it would "receive" funds
from, and who it would pay them to.  I suppose the last part isn't too hard.
You could probably find consultants to work on just about anything if you had
money to pay them.  Hopefully you could even find ones who would have enough
talent and care enough to do a good job.
