# Foundation

RARI DAO is represented IRL (in real life) by the RARI Foundation, which is a Cayman Islands legal entity. It allows the RARI DAO to have a formal representation, enter into contractual relationships, and utilize the other benefits and protections of a legal entity.&#x20;

The Rari Foundation is here to help this ecosystem grow and to aid the community in achieving its mission of unlocking and powering new NFT use cases.

The RARI DAO can vote to nominate, appoint and remove directors of the RARI Foundation (the Board). The purpose of the Board is to administer DAO proposals and serve the vision of the community, not as its leaders but as its enablers.

#### Budget

The RARI Foundation is funded from Operational Budgets approved by the DAO community. These budgets ensure the continuity of operations and that the Foundation meets its obligations.&#x20;

Reports on budget spending are issued quarterly, within 30 days of the end of a quarter cycle.<br>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rari-foundation.gitbook.io/rari-dao-knowledge-base/foundation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
