How deep and how wide is a family? The 2012 Foundation Center report, “Key Facts on Family Foundations,” reported more than 38,000 family foundations nationwide with 62 percent of them having assets of less than $1 million. Founders often envision the family foundation as a great benefit that brings the extended family back together across time and geography. So, it is not just about extended family now, a family foundation becomes the legacy for extended family across geography, time and generations.
