Family Legacy Fund* is a charitable foundation that aims to create a community of philanthropists who invest in programs that enhance the health and well-being of children. A joint undertaking of Children’s Hospital & Research Center Foundation and Philanthropy International, Family Legacy Fund promotes and facilitates the creation of family foundations (in the form or donor advised funds or charitable trusts) as a component of prudent and values-based financial and estate planning. These family foundations help distribute social capital to worthy causes.

Educating individuals and financial and legal advisors on the values and benefits of tax-exempt financial planning is a unique strength of the Family Legacy Fund. The Family Legacy Fund has assembled a national team of specialists with extensive experience in estate planning, tax law, financial planning, charitable planning, fiduciary accounting and investment management. This team conducts continuing education courses for the benefit of financial and estate planning professionals and also prepares legacy planning presentations to educate individuals and their families on the many rewards of tax-exempt planning. The Family Legacy Fund team will work with advisors and donors to design tax-exempt planning strategies that aim to reduce taxes, maximize assets, address multi-generational goals and values while enabling donors to create a charitable legacy for the causes they care about.

*The corporate name of Family Legacy Fund is the Foundation for Children’s Care. Foundation for Children’s Care is a nonprofit corporation organized according to the laws of California.
