There's an easier way to accomplish your philanthropic goals. Many families and individuals with private foundations have made the switch to either a donor advised fund or a supporting organization.
Donor-Advised Funds and Supporting Organizations benefit from more efficient administration, grantmaking support and reduced tax and reporting burden.
The Paso del Norte Community Foundation supports private foundations into transitioning to effective and cost-efficient giving vehicles.
