Has your family foundation been making gifts for decades without having a way of
preserving the records of your giving history? Do you have to look at old ledgers,
yellowing notebooks, fading index cards, and decades-old tax forms to learn about the
grants made by earlier generations?
Now there is an easy, cost-effective way to organize and preserve your family's
philanthropic legacy. Strategies for Philanthropy, an experienced,
full-service consulting firm for family foundations, has developed a customized software
program called FoundationFile. This database
allows families access to complete information about their giving history and can answer
questions you and your children may have regarding:
Which grants has our family made over the years?
Have we made multiple gifts to a given nonprofit organization?
Has there been a pattern to our grantmaking?
Which causes did our parents and grandparents think were most
important? Have
our
priorities changed?
Any other information you want to discover.
The FoundationFile staff will transfer your
giving records to your unique database and help you produce whichever reports you desire.
Or, you can enter the foundation's grant history as time permits. The program is
affordable, easy to install, and foolproof to use. Your foundation will not only have a
record of the past but a new start in tracking proposals and grants for the future.Consider
FoundationFile to capture the past and
organize the future of your foundation's grantmaking.
