Family Foundations: Getting Started
Complete Support Services to Establish and Help Manage Your Family Foundation
Some families set up a private foundation because they want to help out the people, communities, and institutions they care about. For others, the motivation may start with tax planning, after a conversation with a trusted advisor. Whatever the impetus, you’ll find that a private foundation is a powerful and flexible philanthropic vehicle.
A private foundation is an independent legal entity over which you retain complete control. You have full and final say over how the foundation is governed, and how foundation assets are invested and spent.
How will you be remembered 100 years from now? A private foundation can exist in perpetuity, attaching the family name to a legacy of philanthropy that endures through the generations.
