Foundation Management

Offering Benefits

Making the greatest impact with your philanthropic dollars requires balancing multiple objectives — from grantee selection and interaction to maximizing investment earnings and complying with complex reporting and disclosure rules. With decades of experience serving private foundations and other charitable ventures, our nonprofit experts help ensure your legacy continues for generations to come.

Navigating the sea of foundation accounting and reporting requirements takes a steady, experienced hand. Not only do we make sure you are in a strong financial position today, we go deeper. Are you on track to meet distribution requirements? Do you have an investment policy? Are manual processes pulling you away from higher-value functions? Are you engaging in self-dealing transactions and don’t even know it? Our proactive guidance will help you keep meeting your grantmaking goals for years to come.

We utilize a fully functional accounting system, complete with electronic document workflows and electronic signatures, ensuring best-in-class document retention and accounting. We also utilize an optimized grants management system and provide a database of U.S charities for you to explore should you need inspiration for a future grant. Finally, all our technology is aggregated to a simple dashboard so you can easily view the current status of your foundation.

Keeping up with the many moving parts of establishing and managing a foundation — from bookkeeping and grants management to compliance with complex IRS reporting rules — takes time that you could be spending on your philanthropic mission. But you don’t have to manage it all on your own. We remove the worry and hassle with a customized package of outsourced foundation services, freeing you up to focus on the reasons you started the foundation in the first place.
