Zhihu someone asked Han Zhengjun "What is the role of the foundation, what is its function, and what are the benefits of establishing a foundation for yourself. For example, the OpenStack Foundation, and many wealthy people like to establish foundations. What is the money used for? What helps it to the people who set it up?"

So, today we will briefly talk about the role of the foundation?

  • Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization established in accordance with the law

  • is a carrier that reflects corporate social responsibility and public welfare charity;

  • is a management tool that maximizes the realization of family inheritance and social wealth value.

What is simple is that in addition to doing charity, foundations can carry out charity activities and charity projects; foundations can also be used for wealth management and family inheritance.

The benefits and values ​​lie:

  • Establish a brand to improve the image and popularity of corporate social responsibility, which is equivalent to "soft advertising", so many celebrities and companies have established foundations.

  • Foreign relations , and the relationship between the government will be established through foundations or gain more convenience. Through collaboration at the foundation, some previously unknown entrepreneurs can establish a channel for communication with famous domestic and foreign corporate leaders. For example, the initial contact between the Niu Gensheng family in Mengniu and the Rockefeller family in the United States, and the later exchanges and cooperation were based on the cooperation and exchanges between the Rockefeller Foundation and the Laoniu Foundation.

  • Tax angle , whether it is an individual or an enterprise, a large donation every year can enjoy the tax deduction policy. And you can kill two birds with one stone, and do good deeds while reducing taxes.

  • family inherits , the foundation fixes wealth and specializes in public welfare and charity, forming a sustainable form of wealth use. It turns out that huge wealth can be maintained intergenerational. The secret is not to keep wealth, but to use wealth correctly, and the family foundation is the best model. For example, a family like Rockefeller in the United States, which has a strong capital, has been prosperous after 6 generations.

In fact, this mainly depends on the original intention of the initiator. For example, large enterprises are to cooperate with the company's development strategy, and entrepreneurs are to family inheritance and wealth management. These need to be started with top-level design and then implemented. Some people or organizations are purely for public welfare and charity, and in order to solve social problems, they first consider the issue of project implementation and fundraising, and then slowly develop the plan.
