Mission & Focus Areas

The U.S. Family Foundation, Inc. was established to allow individuals and families to enjoy the charitable and tax advantages of a family foundation while avoiding the high costs associated with establishing a private foundation.

The organization's primary focus areas include:

  • Educational organizations
  • Scientific organizations
  • Religious organizations
  • Health-related organizations
  • Human services

The foundation emphasizes that charitable purposes may be a combination of these categories, and donors can direct gifts to good causes worldwide, unlike community foundations that typically limit giving to specific local areas.

Grantmaking

Most individual family foundations established under USFF direct that 80% of annual asset growth be paid out to charities of the donor's choice, with the remaining 20% added back to principal. This structure is designed to provide increasing donations over time in the donor's family name and allows charities to budget more accurately.
