Considering Establishing a Private Foundation?

If you are thinking about setting up your own Private Foundation, please consider directing funds through the Mariposa Community Foundation instead. This will provide a high-impact alternative to a private foundation and will alleviate you of day-to-day fiscal responsibilities, in addition to IRS tax reporting, and certain California legal and tax reporting requirements.
