a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Corp.  -  FEIN: 58-2085326

The National Heritage Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c )(3) public charity founded in 1968. It has grown to be one of the largest charities in the U. S. The NHF sets up and administers for individuals, corporations and communities --foundations at NHF-- as a part of its legal structure, similar to an account at a bank. These “foundations at NHF” can either make --donor advised gifts-- to named charities, or can actually conduct supervised charitable operations. NHF sees these --foundations at NHF-- as a project by project approach to the restoration of our national heritage of people to people action. The broad goal of NHF is to strengthen the private philanthropic sector, thus lessening the tax-burdens of government. The narrow goal is to help people become more charitable, by assisting them with their charitable, educational, scientific or religious projects.

Why a National Heritage Foundation?

The Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC), a National Heritage Foundation was established in the September 2004 as a foundation so that all donations could immediately be considered tax deductible.

The Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC) operates as a sub foundation of the National Heritage Foundation (NHF). Becoming a sub foundation under the National Heritage Foundation umbrella gave us a number of immediate benefits and allowed us more time to fulfill our mission, --Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the InternetTM,  rather than the day-to-day details of starting a new foundation:

We became part of one of the largest foundations of its type in America, with a net worth (fund balance) of more than $50,000,000 and deferred Gift Pipeline of more than 1.2 billion dollars.
The NHF is one of the few Foundations of its type that publishes an annual independent audit.
The NHF maintains a $5,000,000 Malfeasance and Misfeasance insurance policy.
The NHF has a staff to help us with over 100 years of foundation experience - including on staff attorneys experienced in Charitable Tax Law, and on staff accountants and investment counselors.

In a few words, by becoming a sub-foundation of The National Heritage Foundation we were able to assure our contributors that their donations would be tax deductible and fully and strictly compliant with the Internal Revenue Code, and Federal and State Regulations.

All our letterheads and printed materials must clearly identify our relationship with NHF by including the words --A National Heritage Foundation--.

Anyone wishing to test the "bona fide" status of our organization may look for the National Heritage Foundation on the IRS Cumulative List Of Tax Exempt Organizations (Publication 78).

Publication 78, Cumulative List of Organizations described in Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, is a list of organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions.

Our Tax ID number is 58-2085326.

One of the main focuses of the NHF is to ensure strict compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and Federal and State Regulations. NHF not only educates the Donor/Founder and those working with him or her in what they can or cannot do, but the NHF Board of Directors supervises every donation coming in and authorizes every disbursement going out. It field-audits and inspects Foundation activities from time to time. NHF will not conduct project activities that promote violence, atheism, or the promotion and use of illegal drugs, but within that framework will not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, gender or national origin.

A brief introduction into Ways to Give
There are many opportunities to support the Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC), a National Heritage Foundation for potential tax advantages to the donor. Planned gifts provide deferred but irrevocable benefits to the next generation and educational programs. Additionally, please consider giving thru donating your valuable time. Often this form of philanthropy is overlooked, but greatly appreciated.

The Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC), is a National Heritage Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation. Additional information about the role and benefits they offer to small and newly founded foundations can be accessed through their website at http://www.nhf.org/ or at 1-800-986-4483. All donations and gifts are monitored by their highly respectable staff and officers.

Gifts of Cash
Gifts of cash are deductible up to 50%. Any excess deductions for the year can generally be carried forward and deducted over as many as five subsequent years. Consult your tax professional for specific advice or contact the National Heritage Foundation directly for additional information: 1-800-986-4483.

Gifts of Securities
If you own securities, particularly traded stock, it is often more advantageous to contribute the stock than cash. A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax saving. First, you avoid paying capital gain tax on any increase in the value of the stock. Secondly, you receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift. For instance, if you purchased stock several years ago for only $1,000, and it is now worth $10,000, an outright gift of the stock to the Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC), a National Heritage Foundation would result in a charitable contribution of $10,000 and there would be no tax on the $9,000 appreciated value. Consult your tax professional for advice.

Gifts of Real Estate
A residence, vacation home, farm, acreage, or vacant lot may have so appreciated in value through the years that its sale would mean a sizeable capital gains tax. By making a gift of this property instead, you would avoid the capital gains tax, and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property. Consult your tax professional for advice.
