Fidelity Private Foundation Services

Integrated technology

Our proprietary system provides instant access to your foundation's charitable, financial, and investment records — along with comprehensive reports. Transactions are fast and accurate and staying on top of your foundation affairs is easy. Online tools are available on the secure web site and allow you and authorized individuals, such as advisors and board members, to:

• View account summaries
• Initiate transactions (contributions, grants, expenses)
• Track grant status
• Access reports (balance sheet, income statement, grant and expense history, and 5% distribution status)
• Archive foundation documents such as by-laws, meeting minutes, and IRS Forms 990-PF

Compliance support

The service includes compliance support through due diligence on prospective grantees' charitable status, monitoring of the 5% distribution requirement, and early notification on potential foundation compliance issues.

Simplified tax preparation

Because the foundation activities are facilitated through Fidelity Private Foundation Services, all the data needed to prepare the IRS Form 990-PF and any applicable state filings are organized and accurate. Either Fidelity Private Foundation Services¹ or your advisor can prepare the Form 990-PF for signature and calculate and process the quarterly excise tax payments.

Flexible investment management and custody options

Fidelity can work with a wide range of investment management and custody options:

• Investment can be self-directed through a Fidelity Account^®, managed with Fidelity's professional discretionary investment management service, through a third-party advisor referred by Fidelity, or with your current foundation investment manager.
