A New Report on Artist-Endowed Foundations

Prepared for artists and their family members interested in the topic of artist-endowed foundations, Reading Guide to the Study Report for Artists and Their Family Members is a guide to The Artist as Philanthropist: Strengthening the Next Generation of Artist-Endowed Foundations, the two-volume Study Report produced by the Aspen Institute National Study of Artist-Endowed Foundations. The guide is organized around questions often asked by artists about whether to create an artist-endowed foundation, and provides references to the sections of the Study Report and its related materials, including Study Report Supplement 2013, that pertain to these questions. The publication's goal is to promote better understanding as to whether a foundation is an appropriate choice for an artist and, if so, how to plan for a foundation that will be successful in fulfilling its charitable purpose.
