Some truly believe that its always better to give than to receive and want to set up their own charitable foundation. Its not difficult to make a commitment to philanthropy, even on a small budget.

Craig Wisnom, attorney with Bogutz & Gordon and legal contributor for KVOA News 4, discusses what people should know about charitable foundations and funds on the News 4 at 4:00 program. For more information, visit http://www.bogutzandgordon.com or call (800) 688-2568

  • @mpwinsma I have been wanting to set up a foundation to help raise funds for communal living projects/experiments or some call sustainable living or resource based living. I would be depending on donations from people, entrepreneurs, and companies for money, food and resources. I am wondering is it legal to derive a salary from this for myself and others that may be involved? No one can really quit their jobs to do this so I am wondering how we would survive otherwise. Thank you, Rob

  • The main reason I set up the MPW Charitable Foundation, Inc. was to make sure that the mission (transparency and continuity, as well as helping poor women and children) continued after I died. To do this, I needed a perpetual tool, a corporation, whose by-laws and secondary processes I created myself. It was not too difficult, nor expensive. There were no fees to lawyers (incorporation) or accountants (IRS approval), I was able to get volunteers to do this and avoid the costs. You can, too.
