Expand Your Philanthropic Toolbox
Private foundations enjoy many options not available to individual givers or donor advised funds (DAFs). With a private foundation, you can make gifts directly to individuals and families, to international charities, even for-profit companies, provided that your gift is for a charitable purpose. You also can make loans to charities or equity-investments in charitably focused entities.
With Foundation Source, there is no need to search for the specialized expertise to take advantage of these tools. We provide our clients with access to the expertise and technical know-how to execute their most creative ideas. Our Advanced Back-Office services enable you to explore everything you can do with a private foundation - and turn those plans into action.
