Why partner with The Wisconsin Foundation, rather than just making a direct donation to the charity of my choice?
There are numerous benefits to maintaining a fund at the Foundation. Easy to establish – Unlike establishing your own private foundation, setting up a fund with the Foundation is easy, and you generally incur no legal costs, enjoy greater tax benefits, and need not worry about filing institutional tax returns. Maintain your Privacy – Donors’ privacy is protected and anonymity is ensured if you so desire. Whether you recommend grants through the Foundation or designate particular charities, all of your giving can be anonymous. Focus on Grantmaking – We handle all administrative details of the fund, leaving you free to focus on fulfilling your charitable vision. Our experience and resources provide an innovative and cost-effective framework in which you may develop and realize your philanthropic goals.
