The following is a beginner’s guide to starting your own foundation. Yes, it may seem like a monumental task. However, if you break it down into manageable parts, forming a Foundation can be successfully accomplished. GrantWatch<\/strong><\/a> wants to help in this effort by putting a little spin on the subject. We are providing a comprehensive list of foundation-sponsored grants. To be clear, these are the foundations who sponsor nonprofits, individuals, and small businesses. In fact, GrantWatch provides a separate tab at the top of its homepage specifically for foundation grants. Listed there are over 4,000 Foundation grants<\/strong><\/a> from which to choose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Need to Do to Start a Foundation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1: Preformation Planning<\/strong>. Before you begin, there are several questions you should consider to help you decide which type of foundation would best suit the needs of the new organization.<\/p>

Why are you forming this organization? Who will do the work? Who will donate the foundation start-up capital? How will the foundation sustain itself? Who will serve on the board of directors and who will be the officers? How much administration and management do you wish to take on yourself? How much do you want to delegate? What degree of control do you want over the funds? What are the tax consequences?<\/p>

Answering questions as the ones listed above can help you and your advisors determine which type of charitable organization or giving vehicle is right for you.<\/p>

Stage 2: Formation<\/strong>. It is essential for the donor or the donor’s advisor to comprehend – at the outset – the basic legal rules that govern the formation and regulate the activities of foundations. Complete the process under state law. However, requirements vary from state to state. First, you must choose what legal form your foundation will take. Your options are either a trust or a corporation.<\/p>

Stage 3: IRS Recognition.<\/strong> So, your organization is formed under state law. The next step is typically for the organization’s leaders to seek recognition from the IRS as a tax-exempt charity. Such recognition means that the organization will not have to pay federal tax on its income. Additionally, the organization will be eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. For most organizations, this process involves submitting IRS Form 1023. Application for Exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. <\/p>cof.org (Council on Foundations) “Starting a Foundation<\/em>“<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
