International charitable foundations

the long version

"This book addresses the issues faced by philanthropists seeking to engage in international charitable activities and offers alternative approaches to traditional U.S.-based foundations. The approach is to describe the basic legal framework applicable to establishing a charitable institution, whether domestic or foreign. It is both a primer and a "how to" book, taking the reader through the basic concepts necessary to understanding how a foundation works and how one is established. The focus is on the practical considerations that will arise, important legal and tax issues and the numerous considerations bearing on selection of a location for the foundation. Appendices include basic tax forms as well as templates for establishing private foundations in foreign jurisdictions."--BOOK JACKET.
