Family Foundation Testimonials
The Sternlicht Foundation
Barry & Mimi Sternlicht
"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
Fred Sievert, President
"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."
The Clark Family Private Foundation
Phil Clark, President
"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."
