Corporate Foundations

What We Can Do for You

The American Foundation can help any business create and operate a highly successful corporate foundation at no cost to the corporation. We can also help existing "private" corporate foundations implement new operating techniques that will add value to their current philanthropic programs. Whatever your company's situation, we would like to talk to you about our unique foundation planning techniques and related business strategies.


Gift Allocation to the American Foundation
No Fees or Charges to Donor Foundations

The American Foundation is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit, charitable foundation. As such, we do not charge fees for services. All foundations transfer 1% of their foundation value (½ of 1% in the case of charitable trusts) annually to the American Foundation as a gift allocation. Investment charges to foundations or trusts will vary depending on the recommended investments and/or investment advisors selected.

The donation allocation to the American Foundation first pays for the actual cost of administration. Any remaining money is used to develop and expand our charitable mission, which includes: promoting and helping to create vast amounts of new and more effective philanthropy, helping charities and foundations with their organizational structure and governance, operations, human resources, and selected charitable projects.

We encourage those who believe in our charitable mission, to allocate more than the minimum percentage to the American Foundation to help achieve our charitable objectives.

What We Provide

As part of our charitable mission to promote philanthropy, we provide these services free of charge:

  • Structural design and organizational documentation for new or improved corporate foundation programs
  • Instruction and initial support with the complete foundation administration
  • Assistance with implementing a company-wide foundation awareness program
  • Education of corporate board members, executives, and key employees about their increased and exciting personal opportunities relative to this new corporate foundation program
  • Training board members, executives, and key employees on how to recognize circumstances or events that trigger opportunities for strategic foundation planning.
