Existing Private Foundation

Although you have been successfully operating your private foundation for a number of years, you may now, because of changing circumstances, be facing a number of challenges:

• Obligations of administration
• No apparent successor to take on these responsibilities, etc.

Transferring the assets of your foundation to Hamilton Community Foundation can solve these challenges.

Whether the assets are transferred now or plans are put in place to be activated at some future date, as the principal of the private foundation, you can be content that by working with Hamilton Community Foundation, your goals will continue to be met forever.
