Seven Options in Family Philanthropy
More than 19% of high net worth families in the country have family foundations. Yet most of these foundations are less than $1 million size and are burdened with administrative rules and taxes. What do you offer the client who is interested in creating an institutional form for generational philanthropy, especially after the changes in private foundations, supporting organizations, and donor advised funds under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and the rulings that have followed. This session helps you:
- Analyze and sort through the options of a private foundation, supporting organization, donor advised fund, charitable lead trust
- Identify several other even easier options for foundations and donor advised funds
- Lead the discussion with the donor or foundation board around setting goals and selecting the entity that best meets their needs
