  • SHOULD YOU GIVE THROUGH an LLC? JOHN: Good Morning Everyone
    Friday, October 25, 2019, Aviara (T21_1) SHOULD YOU GIVE THROUGH AN LLC? JOHN: Good morning everyone. My name is John Tyler. I’m the general counsel secretary, chief ethics officer for the Ewing Kauffman Foundation and it’s my privilege to be able to moderate and facilitate this session on really philanthropy and use of the LLC model. The Jan Zuckerberg initiative made a big splash a couple of years ago when Mark and Priscilla announced that they were going to set up their philanthropy through an LLC. And there was all sorts of, mostly uproar and a little bit of excitement and quite a bit of misunderstanding in the uproar. But Jan Zuckerberg was not by any means, the first philanthropy to be approached with this structure. But it did ignite interest in the structure and that has continued to this day. And I think that there is some good strong curiosity among high net worth individuals about, is this a good structure for me to operate my philanthropy through. And it’s more of an enterprise structure rather than a foundation single structure. It’s looking more the LLC structure through philanthropy is usually encompasses a variety of things. And so we’ve got high net worth individuals wondering is it a good structure for them. We’ve got foundations and community foundations and DAFs and other funders curious about, well wait a second, can we collaborate, can we do work with these for profit philanthropies and so there are questions about that.
