KBFUS helps U.S. donors achieve their philanthropic goals in Europe and Africa. In this process, we provide professional advisors with the tools they need to make sure that their clients’ giving remains personalized, efficient, tax deductible and secure.

KBFUS works with some of the country’s leading community foundations, national funds and financial institutions, as well as with wealth managers, insurance professionals, CPAs, legal counsel and philanthropic consultants.

Through an Advised Gift to KBFUS, your clients can support their favorite museum, university or other non-profit organization overseas. If they don’t have a favorite organization in mind, we can help you identify premier non-profit organizations in the country, region or field of your clients’ interest.

If your clients intend to make multiple donations over time, to support either the same organization or different non-profit organizations, a Donor-Advised Fund at KBFUS is the solution you are looking for. With a Donor-Advised Fund, they can make additional contributions whenever it suits them, claim an immediate tax deduction and inform us later how you would prefer the contribution to be used.

Are your clients seeking to award an annual prize in the field or region of their choice, select innovative projects through a request for proposals, or grant fellowships to talented men and women for study across the Atlantic? A Signature Program provides them with a highly customized solution to manage a personalized giving strategy in Europe or an exchange program between the United States and Europe.

To research funding opportunities in the country, region or field of your clients’ interest, you may call upon KBFUS Consult.

Working with KBFUS makes good business sense. Donors can contribute from an existing giving vehicle such as a private foundation or a donor-advised fund within a community foundation or a national fund. Our focus on Europe and Africa perfectly complements their focus on U.S. charities. With KBFUS, you enable your clients to expand their giving without having to navigate the complex regulations associated with international grantmaking. Through our due diligence process, we make sure that their support goes to the right organizations. Please check our ‘Internal Anti-Terrorist Funding Procedures’.

With KBFUS you will benefit from our affiliated foundation’s 30 years of grantmaking experience. The Brussels-based King Baudouin Foundation (KBF), named after Belgium’s late head of state, is a leading foundation in Europe and a founding member of the European Foundation Center.

KBFUS can accept contributions in cash or in appreciated property, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds or real estate. In some circumstances we can accept donations of collections or works of art. We also accept bequests, which may include a suggestion of a recipient charity overseas. Because KBFUS is a 501(c)(3) public charity, donors may claim the maximum tax benefits allowed by U.S. tax law for their contributions.

KBFUS is a founding partner of the Alliance for International Giving, which brings together three premium providers of donor-advised international giving services: KBFUS, Give2Asia and The Resource Foundation.

KBFUS is a member of the Council on Foundations and the New York Regional Association of Grantmakers (NYRAG). It supports the ‘United States International Grantmaking’ (USIG) project, an initiative of the Council on Foundations.
