Don't you udnerstand the difference between an alliance (even product- focused like Dan saied) and a foundation ?
nothing from that list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance has offices, board, and so on. Still according to Wikipedia, a Foundation (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Foundation_%28nonprofit_organization%29) is "a legal categorization of nonprofit organizations.". So the difference is clear : "legal". An alliance is recognized only by the members of the alliance.
