The foundation
My Own Foundation is a philanthropic foundation that allows the hosting of foundations (sheltered foundations) with their own goals set by the donor. These sheltered funds are a very interesting alternative to the creation of a foundation.
Thanks to its structure, it offers a simplified service and minimizes the costs related to the creation and management of a foundation.
