Foundations

What is a Foundation?

A Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable corporation, referred to as a 501 (c) corporation, which qualifies as a tax-exempt charity under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue code.  A properly organized and managed Foundation provides a vehicle for a high net worth individual’s philanthropic purposes.

A Foundation is not a means to gain a tax advantage or to employ family and friends.  However, a properly designed and managed Foundation does provide the opportunity to apply tax law for the benefit of the Foundation sponsor and thereby create a win-win situation for all parties involved.  In addition, a properly organized, managed and funded Foundation can lawfully achieve many collateral benefits, including employing family and friends, provided the compensation is reasonable for the services performed.

What is a 501(c) Corporation?

501(c) corporations receive an exemption from federal taxation under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.  These are typically referred to as non-profit corporations.  Donations to these corporations are also tax deductible for the giver, making it easier for these corporations to raise funds.  There are many classes of 501(c) organizations that can qualify under the IRS code for tax-exempt status, the most common for Foundations are those formed under Section 501(c) (3).

How is a 501 (c) Corporation formed?

Steps taken to achieve 501 (c) non-profit status include the following:  incorporation must be completed and an application submitted to the IRS in order to be given 501 (c) status.  Once the IRS authorizes this status, it is necessary to comply with all the ongoing requirements such as holding timely meetings of the Board of Directors and recording these meetings with complete and accurate minutes.  In addition, all corporate finances must be closely reviewed to assure compliance with all 501 (c) regulations as listed in the IRS code.
