It's difficult for the foundation to properly control lots of assets
(GPS receivers etc) in lots of jurisdictions, and even harder to
recover assets that aren't returned.
It's difficult for the foundation to enter into contractual
arrangements from the UK in various jurisdictions, things like
companies donating goods and services for use by school kids for
example, and these same companies wouldn't deal with individuals.
It's difficult for the foundation to get special tax status in various
countries, so donations could be tax free etc.
