Foundations
The Giving Back Fund provides philanthropic consulting and foundation management to high-profile individuals and others committed to philanthropy.
In some case, The Giving Back Fund provides tax-exempt status by establishing donor-advised foundations, which function as component funds of The Giving Back Fund. In other cases, The Giving Back Fund provides consulting to independent 501(c) (3) organizations. Some of the donors with whom we have worked include:

We discourage unsolicited proposals --- very few are funded.
Due to volume, we cannot respond to all requests. We will contact you only if the proposal is under consideration. Please note that most of The Giving Back Fund's foundations have specific program areas in which they focus their giving. In addition, many require that the charity is helping a specific geographical region.
GBF's foundations only provide grants to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations. We are unable to distribute grants to individuals.
We are unable to handle personal requests for autographs through mail or e-mail. Please do not send memorabilia for autographs. These items will not be returned.
