Tell Congress Where You Stand - Act Now
In higher education philanthropy, family giving occupies a unique and powerful position. It’s a form of giving that bridges the gap between individual donors and large foundations, offering a blend of personal connection and strategic impact that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Imagine a family—let’s call them the Johnsons—who has decided to make a significant contribution to their alma mater. The Johnsons aren’t just writing a check; they’re embarking on a journey to shape their legacy and, ideally, transform the institution they love.
What makes the Johnsons’ gift special is how it retains the deeply personal aspects of individual giving while harnessing the power and structure of a foundation. Like individual donors, each family member brings their own connection to the university. Perhaps Sarah Johnson fondly remembers her time as Resident Assistant, where she developed as a leader and made life-long friends. At the same time, a particular professor inspired her brother Mark in the engineering department. These personal ties create a tapestry of experiences that inform their giving, much like an individual donor would.

The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to family offices and successful families and protecting a lifetime of savings has never been greater. Now more than ever, family offices and successful families are under fire. That’s why Family Enterprise USA Action is passionately working to increase the awareness of issues important to family offices and successful families, while continuing to strengthen our presence on Capitol Hill.
Family Enterprise USA Action engages with legislators on Capitol Hill on behalf of family offices, successful families, and family-owned businesses. It is focused exclusively on the critical tax and economic policies that impact them. Since 1995, FEUSA Action has been the leading advocacy group working daily in Washington, D.C., to reduce and eliminate estate tax, gift tax, and generation skipping transfer tax while blocking increased income and capital gains taxes, the creation of a wealth tax, and other hostile policies that punish hardworking taxpayers and success in the U.S. It is a bipartisan 501.c4 organization.
