A Private Foundation Versus a Fund at The Denver Foundation

If your client is considering creating a private foundation, we encourage you to first explore the advantages of a community foundation.  Some believe that a private foundation provides the only option for long-term involvement with assets they set aside for charitable purposes.  In reality, a fund at a community foundation offers numerous advantages, and avoids many of the hassles and expenses of private foundation management. 

Take a look at a comparison to see the many benefits of a fund at The Denver Foundation.  There are other helpful links at the top of this page.

We welcome the opportunity to consult with you and your clients about the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.  Our desire is to help you find the solution that works best for your client.  If you have any questions, please contact a member of our Philanthropic Services Group at 303.300.1790 or email us.
