"Thousands of Americans are forfeiting millions of potential charitable dollars

(collectively, billions) each year because they are not taking advantage

of the numerous tax benefits for funding a foundation."

Silk and Lintott

“The more you give, the more you receive.”

There has been an immense surge in giving in recent years, due partly to an unprecedented increase in wealth.  As baby boomers enter retirement, they do so as the wealthiest and healthiest generation in history.  They have a great desire to create positive change regarding society’s many problems, and to preserve and self-direct the wealth they have created.  They have the highest level ever of good health, mobility and determination to make this happen.  The only thing missing has been the right tools, at the right time, used in just the right way to make these desires a reality.  A private charitable foundation is a perfect tool to accomplish these many and varied goals.
