There are 700 community foundations in the United States administering more than $31 billion in charitable funds. With a minimum opening balance of $5,000, donors name their own foundation fund, take an immediate tax deduction, and distribute the money over time to their favorite charities.<\/p>\n<p>As the ad says, you don\u2019t have to be a billionaire to feel like one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL3.jpg\" rel=\"gallery\" class=\"broken_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL3\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL3.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"469\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL1.jpg\" rel=\"gallery\" class=\"broken_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL1.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"469\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL2.jpg\" rel=\"gallery\" class=\"broken_link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL2\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/old.gnof.org\/content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GNOF-Cb-Ad-ALL2.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"469\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several months ago when 40 billionaires including Warren Buffett and Bill Gates signed a pledge to donate much of their wealth to charity, the New York Trust ran a clever\u00a0ad\u00a0with the headline:\u00a0Why let the billionaires have all the fun?
