What is the Generations Foundation Trust?
The Generations Foundation Trust is a unique and powerful way to invest in your family’s future—ensuring your legacy helps support your children, grandchildren, and generations beyond.
Outside of basic “probate-avoidance” trusts, robust multi-generational trusts remain an elusive tool: they’re complex, attorney-driven vehicles used mostly by the wealthy, requiring bespoke drafting, ongoing professional administration, and substantial legal fees—often only justified for large estates. Designing and operating a trust that both grows and protects investments while delivering long-term distributions is exceptionally challenging. With the Generations Foundation Trust, a modest sponsorship contribution grants you access to an intricately designed, professionally managed, multi-generational trust that compiles and grows investments for lifetimes.
Rather than leaving your loved ones a lump sum at your passing—funds that may be mismanaged or spent too quickly—your sponsorship contribution is carefully invested for the long-term benefit of each person you sponsor. The Trust restricts its holdings to the largest, most proven investment vehicles in the world, all with very low fees; the same vehicles used by the most experienced, long-term investors. After an initial 40-year accumulation period during which your contribution compounds to substantial value, the Trust begins providing monthly income to your beneficiary and offers assistance in times of hardship, ensuring comfortable stability and securing their well-being.
Once a person is included, they can add their own children—and those children can add theirs—so that your single sponsorship forms the foundation for generations of descendants. Distributions are managed to preserve long-term growth, and as the Trust’s assets accumulate, your initial gift can support future generations with college funding, hardship distributions, and a monthly income stream beginning at age 40. This structure encourages beneficiaries to build their lives first—promoting personal responsibility and maturity—then assists with lifelong support.
Beyond caring for your own lineage, the Generations Foundation Trust is designed so that if its investments grow significantly beyond the needs of your direct descendants, the surplus can be deployed as endowments to assist other families and individuals in need. Your beneficiaries become stewards of that generosity, extending the Trust’s benefits to others. In this way, your single act of sponsorship becomes both a powerful family legacy and a broader philanthropic investment, creating lasting impact for generations to come.
The Generations Foundation Trust is non-profit; apart from the corporate trustee’s operational fees, every dollar of your sponsorship goes directly toward securing your family’s future. The Trust is also fully transparent—every participant has access to detailed records of beneficiaries, investments, financials, and distributions—ensuring confidence and clarity at every step.
