MCF versus Private Foundations

The Madison Community Foundation is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to a private foundation.
A donor advised fund with the foundation offers the flexibility of a private or family foundation without the expense and maintenance. As the fund advisor, you recommend distributions to the charitable causes that mean the most to you. Foundation staff members are available to identify quality organizations, conduct research, or schedule site visits. Working through the Madison Community Foundation also offers anonymity that can not be achieved through a private foundation.
Whether you are examining the creation of a new private foundation or assessing the future of an existing private foundation, the staff of the foundation is at your service.
