"We rely on Foundation Source virtually every day... to fulfill pledges we've made, research charities we are interested in, and take the paperwork out of making gifts. We used to have a lot of great intentions, but our follow through was weak at best. We had never clearly defined responsibilities in running our family's foundation, and were always confused about who was doing what.

"These days everything goes first through us, then through Foundation Source. We know that once we enter information on the web site, we don't have to think about it again. Checks are sent... third parties are notified... and our gifts go on record, so we can log on at any time and see what we've done this year and in previous years. Whenever we have a question or need help, the staff is responsive and takes initiative. They are truly our partner in making sure the right charity receives the right funds in a timely, professional manner. Quite frankly, we are amazed at just how quickly and easily Foundation Source has become an integral part of our family foundation's management. They truly streamline the gift giving and decision making process, giving us confidence every step of the way."

"The Sievert Family Foundation has been utilizing the services of Foundation Source for about 9 months now, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the company's work and the responsiveness of their staff.

"Initially, I resisted setting up a private foundation because of the perceived hassle of dealing with incorporation, with tax returns and with the need for regular board meetings. Much to my delight, the staff at Foundation Source has made this not only a relatively effortless process, but also a very enjoyable one. The real value I have found in such a foundation is the ability to meet regularly with my immediate family members to discuss the importance of philanthropy and to pass on such a legacy while pursuing a mission and theme for our collective giving. I am grateful that Foundation Source has served a vital role in facilitating this Sievert family legacy."

"Foundation Source has opened up a new world of philanthropic giving for us. They are terrific to work with, and Foundation Source does everything they say they will do.

"We get all the services of a fully staffed, large foundation at an extremely affordable price. It's the great joy of our lives to reach out and assist people in need, and we hope that our children, now foundation officers, will develop a sense of philanthropy that will endure for generations."
