If you’re like most people, you already give to charity. But perhaps you’d like something more. How would you like to:

• Go beyond checkbook giving and get more out of your philanthropy 
• Unify your family by establishing a permanent philanthropy legacy?
• Build an enduring structure for your giving that can be handed over to your children to continue?
• Have philanthropic experts to help you get started whom you can tap whenever you need advice?

Benefits of a Foundation
Here are a few of the unique benefits of this powerful, flexible giving vehicle:

• Get a current-year tax deduction, but give when you feel like it
• Retain full legal control over foundation governance, assets, and spending
• Create a lasting legacy that links the family name with good works
• Hire family members and reimburse foundation-related expenses
• Pass on values and skills to younger generations
• Make tax-deductible grants directly to individuals in need
• Run charitable programs without setting up a separate nonprofit
