Family Foundation Handbook

About this book

Although the tax code and regulations related to charitable foundations in the United States are easily available Miree and McCoy (both practicing attorneys) argue that digging through the code can be time consuming and confusing for most people wanting to involve their families in charitable giving. To address this perceived problem they have produced a manual that discusses common questions about the establishment and operation of foundations. Chapters attempt to demystify the legal aspects of creating foundations using charitable trusts to fund foundations operating restrictions grant making foundation administration and issues specific to family foundations. Also included are checklists questionnaires and training forms to help in foundation planning. Annotation c. Book News Inc. Portland OR (booknews.com)
