Private
foundation
A private foundation is a legal entity set up by an
individual, a family or a group of individuals, for a purpose such as
philanthropy or an object legal in the economic operation. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
is the largest private foundation in the U.S. with over $38 billion in assets.[1]
However, most private foundations are much smaller. Approximately
two-thirds of the more than 84,000 foundations which file with the IRS, in
2008, have less than $1 million in assets, and 93% have less than $10 million
in assets.[1]
In aggregate, private foundations in the U.S. control over $628 billion in
assets[1]
and made more than $44 billion in charitable contributions in 2007.[2]
Unlike a charitable foundation, a private foundation does not
generally solicit funds from the public. And a private foundation does not
have the legal requirements and reporting responsibilities of a registered,
non-profit or charitable foundation.
Not all foundations engage in philanthropy: some private
foundations are often used for estate planning purposes.
