What are the differences between foundation types?
Key differences between a private foundation, a family foundation, a corporate foundation, and a community foundation include the following:
Private foundations: A private foundation differs in tax status from a community foundation. While both fall under 501(c)(3), community foundations are considered public charities (501(c)(3) or 509(a)(1)), whereas private foundations hold a separate designation. Private foundations are typically funded by a limited group of donors and guided by their appointed representatives, with the governing body overseeing and approving all activities—including grantmaking, funding requests, advocacy efforts, and human services.
Family foundations: Family-owned foundations are typically structured as private foundations. They are usually supported by a family’s endowment, with family members often playing an active role in managing and guiding the foundation’s work.
Community foundations: A community foundation may operate in a way similar to a private foundation or rely on an advisory committee for guidance. Because decision-making around fundraising efforts and grantmaking can differ from one community foundation to another, it’s important to understand how your foundation allocates funds and what grant programs may already be in place.
Corporate foundations: Corporate foundations are usually created as independent legal entities, separate from the sponsoring corporation. Nevertheless, they often maintain a strong and direct connection with the company that supports them.
