Should I Make My Foundation Go Away, and If So, Where Should It Go?
The Benefits of Family Philanthropy
Charitable giving can take a variety of forms: you can make an outright gift, give a deferred gift where you retain an income stream from the gifted property or transfer assets to your family with discounted dollars, or you can create and operate your own charity. An understanding of the various options can help you find the right vehicle to express your values and bring positive change to your community. Of course, significant tax considerations often result from charitable gifts that also affect which giving vehicle you choose.
