Supporting Organizations

In some conversions, community groups, regulators, legislators, and/or philanthropists consider alternatives to establishing a wholly new and separate foundation. One such alternative is to create what is known as a "supporting organization," which is a separate legal entity with a close relationship to at least one established public charity. Read the publication below to learn more information about creating a supporting organization.
