Hello everyone

I am very happy that I can be part of Charity connect what a great resource. 

I have questions about creating a permanent endowment what is needed. Do I need to be registered with the Charity Commission? Or can I create an endowment with my charity non for profit limited by guarantee? I want to create the endowment asap as I would like my assets when I pass to be willed to the endowment also a friend wrote a book and he wants to donate the royalties to the endowment thank you for your help :)
