Personally, I think it is the best.
I guess you just named Saviour a project to fund a distribution, if I got what you mean, anyway, quotting Gentoo.org: "The Gentoo Foundation has been created to provide financial caretaking, juridical protection and oversee general Gentoo development to keep it in line with the Social Contract."
