Turnkey Family Foundation Program

Why is the American Foundation special?

You can rest easy knowing you are in control of your future and you will leave an enduring legacy.

We support donor involvement
The American Foundation offers the greatest amount of donor direction allowed by law. Foundations established at the American Foundation carry the name of the donor, or can be named in honor of anyone the donor wishes. Donors have the opportunity to recommend where their charitable grants go, now and forever, continuing the donor's mission in perpetuity.

We are international in scope
Many people like to support charities in places other than where they are currently living, such as their hometown, or in some other area that is close to their heart, perhaps in other less fortunate parts of the world. The American Foundation is international in scope. Our donors can give to qualified charities and charitable programs anywhere in the world.

We help charities become more successful
Our organization was founded twenty years ago by a few individuals dedicated to making the world a better place by helping charities to be more successful. We do this by creating more money for charity, helping charities to improve their operations, and building cooperation among charities to maximize their reach and effectiveness. By becoming a donor, you are participating in our charitable mission-creating new and more effective philanthropy in the world.

We Offer Great Opportunities
The American Foundation provides a donor with opportunities to:

• make charitable contributions of cash, property or securities to their family foundation;
• receive the maximum tax benefits associated with a gift to a public charity;
• increase the effectiveness of their philanthropy through the expert assistance of the American Foundation;
• recommend grants from their family foundation to qualified charitable organizations anywhere in the United States or the world;
• build long-term charitable endowments that become family legacies; and
• protect assets and diversify investments.
