"I have known the principals of Sterling for over fifteen years. They have a great deal of experience in all aspects of charitable activity. The rules and regulations surrounding private foundations are extensive and formidable. Anyone who has a private foundation or is planning to create one must make certain that the foundation complies with all these rules and regulations. Generally, that requires professional management, and I can think of no one better qualified than Sterling to provide these important services."
-- Ron Ben-Yehuda, Partner
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Los Angeles, California

"I've been practicing in the trusts and estates area for thirty years, and I've seen quite a few private foundations in that time. In the past, every time we created one, we carefully explained the administrative and compliance requirements to our clients. Yet we still worried about whether, over time, the client would dot every i and cross every t. If we send them to you [Sterling Foundation Management], we know the administration and compliance will be done, and done right."
-- Tim Baetz, Head of Estate Planning Department
McDermott, Will & Emery, Chicago, Illinois

"Developing programs and activities which will make a real difference in people's lives is our top priority. Sterling has played a vital role in helping us achieve our goals of helping people. If you have a private foundation and you care about making a difference, you need to contact them."
-- Ellen Hunt
Rudd Foundation, Napa, California

"I have a JD, an MBA, and extensive foundation experience. But when I have a question about a foundation compliance issue, I call Sterling. They're knowledgeable, capable, and always reliable. I enthusiastically recommend Sterling to anyone who has a private foundation."
-- Kelly Young, Washington, D.C.

"As CPAs and management consultants, we do lots of tax calculations and financial projections. But until I reviewed Sterling's analysis of the economics of lifetime giving, I never fully realized just how much value can be created with a carefully planned program of optimal private foundation funding. Depending on the circumstances, Sterling can show creators of foundations how they can use good tax planning to double the amount their foundations have, and yet still leave more for their children."
-- Barry Bondroff, CPA, Managing Partner
Grabush, Newman & Co., Baltimore, Maryland

"I want to leave my children more than just money. I want to teach them my values, and share with them my vision for a better world. Thanks to Sterling, my private foundation is the ideal vehicle for doing this. Sterling handles all the paperwork, all the regulatory stuff, everything I don't want to do. That allows me and the family to spend our time focusing on how to make the world a better place. And that's really what it's all about."
-- Virginia businessman who prefers to remain anonymous

"They come to the table with a great deal of knowledge. They are very, very smart. They bring a ton of value to the table."
-- Howard B. Miller

"Private foundations have played a vital role in solving a number of important public health and medical issues. Once-terrible scourges like yellow fever and polio no longer threaten us and our children. However, today there is much critical research - research that could lead to the cure of many diseases, the easing of much suffering, and to longer, healthier lives for all of us - that is underfunded or not funded at all. Private philanthropy, most notably the philanthropy of private foundations, can fill that gap. The people at Sterling Foundation Management, whom I've known for years, are doing their part to help by making it easy and convenient for people to create and run their own private foundations. I salute them."
-- Dr. Steven Simon
Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts

"Sterling Foundation Management knows its business. If you have a foundation, or are thinking of creating one, you'll be in good hands with Sterling."
-- David Nott
Humane Studies Foundation, Arlington, Virginia

"You have bridged the gap between 'Knowing versus Doing.' For the busy professional with long-term charitable goals, this is a huge problem. Sterling provides the solution with both knowledge and action."
-- Jack Russo, Chairman
