> Legally you can't fund the Foundation with the Corporation money

The Foundation is the sole owner of the Corporation. The Corporation pays dividends to the Foundation.

Now the amount of those dividends can't be too much if the Foundation wants to keep its nonprofit status. "Too much" is determined by how much people donate: the restriction is on fraction of money that comes from non-donations.
