I assume your question is really about setting this up right so you don't lose your not-for-profit status. It's a good question but there's too much at stake and a lot to research and ponder. The rules are tricky, as you know, so this isn't a question which can be answered by anyone, probably, in a quick manner as this forum is typically used for. It's an interesting question and at another time might be fun to resolve, but not today.

Good luck.
