Customer Reviews

Basic, but helpful

This is a fine starter book for people just dipping their toes in the pool for the first time. There are very useful facts about the steps involved in getting started, and it is short enough that you can refer back to it almost as a map to follow as you progress toward establishing your own foundation.

An excellent educational tool on private foundations

It took a long time for me to find a book that both educated me on private foundations and addressed my concerns about setting one up for my family. This book is exactly what I have been looking for. If you are considering setting up a private foundation yourself, I highly recommend reading this book.

I found the book very helpful.

When considering creating a private foundation for my family I found it very useful to know what other people who created a foundation thought. The book is loaded with statistics on private foundations gathered from national research. It was very comforting to know that my concerns were also the same concerns that others had. I feel very strongly about my charitable activities and this book was considerable help in deciding to create my own foundation.
