What is the Generations Foundation Trust?
The Generations Foundation Trust is a powerful way to invest in your family’s future—ensuring your legacy supports your children, grandchildren, and generations beyond. Robust long-term trusts are complex, attorney‑driven vehicles used mainly by the wealthy, requiring bespoke drafting, ongoing professional administration, substantial legal fees, and usually significant assets. A multi-generational trust that grows and protects investments while providing long-term distributions is exceptionally challenging to design and operate. With the Generations Foundation Trust, a modest sponsorship contribution gains access to an easy to participate in, professionally managed, multi‑generational trust that grows investments for lifetimes.
Instead of simply leaving your loved ones a lump sum of money when you pass, which may mismanaged or not well spent, your sponsorship contribution is carefully invested for the long-term benefit of those you sponsor. The Trust strictly invests only in the largest most well-known and proven investment vehicles on earth, and only those with very low fees; investments are limited to what the most experienced investors use for long-term growth. After an initial 40-year accumulation period—allowing your sponsorship contribution to build substantial value—the Trust begins providing monthly income distributions to your beneficiary and can assist them in times of hardship, ensuring comfortable stability and securing their well-being.
Once included, the person you sponsor can add their children to the Trust, and they can add their children; generations of family from then on are all part of the Trust. Distributions are carefully managed to maximize longer-term growth, and over time as assets accumulate, your single initial sponsorship contribution can support all of their descendants with college education and even hardship distributions; along with monthly income after turning 40. This approach encourages them to establish themselves first, promoting personal responsibility and maturity, then after that supplies an income stream for the rest of their lives.
Beyond taking care of your own family lineage, the Generations Foundation Trust is structured so that—if the investments grow significantly beyond what is needed for their direct descendants—these extra resources can be used as endowments for other families and individuals in need; your beneficiary gets to be part of extending the benefits of the Trust to others. This means your single act of generosity can become both a powerful legacy for your family and a philanthropic investment benefiting the broader community, creating lasting impact for generations to come.
The Generations Foundation Trust is non-profit; every dollar of your sponsorship contribution goes directly to your family’s future.
