"When I started my foundation, I became a poster-child for how to do it wrong, so I instantly understood Foundation Source’s value proposition. Foundation Source solved all the challenges I was facing at the time and made it easy for my family and me to dispatch with administrivia and enjoy making a difference with our philanthropic capital. I understand the impact a well-run foundation can have and the joy it can bring to donors and their families."
