The AMA Foundation does have a general fund that we pull marketing monies from. We did have some help with pricing cuts and we had donors provide the main prizes. This sweepstakes helps us to raise money and promote the AMA Foundation and its mission.

Well in my experience a foundation is set up because it has its own way to get money and wants to allocate the funds as it sees fit without going through the normal (political) system.
I wonder if the AMA itself donates to the AMA foundation?
