Thanks
@Rose49 and everyone at OMF for all you are doing for us!
The salient point remains: donations to OMF.

Yes, they are connected entities. OMI is an umbrella organization that includes the clinic, as well as some testing services and things they provide to other service providers. That is where those of use who see Drs Kaufman and Kogelnik go.
OMF is the research foundation arm. This is indeed where to donate.
Research, as I understand it, is happening within the same building as OMI, at labs at Stanford (just up the road), and maybe other places. (Mountain View/Palo Alto/Stanford are all connected suburban entities in Silicon Valley. Stanford is the university of course; it has its own post code.)
I give samples for the research every time I can when I go for an appointment.
I think OMF is listed in Agoura Hills because that is where Linda Tannenbaum is--as someone noted, it can be incorporated there but have the research happen further north.
There used to be just one website, but as they have grown and developed and gotten the foundation off the ground, now there are two:
http://www.openmedicineinstitute.org/
http://www.openmedicinefoundation.org/
Hope this is accurate and that it helps! I think the main thing is that donations go to OMF, so far as I can tell.
