Outsourcing foundation functions

Several programs have sprung up in recent years to offer alternatives to the classic foundation form. For example, Foundation Source offers “back office" management functions for private foundations. Essentially outsourcing a range of administrative roles, from IRS reporting to making grants, it allows foundations to rethink their form in the same way that many businesses have, focusing on what they need to keep “in house" and what can be done better or more efficiently by a specialized provider.
