Ray I think all those things are great IF the client is charitably inclined.

What I object to is selling them to people (who have no desire to donate to charity) on the basis that it will result in a net economic advantage to the client and his family.

Re private foundations, I think they are great for the very wealthy. However, from a public policy standpoint, I don't like them because I think they should have to pay out more money than they do under current law.

A cheaper to set up and maintain device for the not very wealthy is the self-directed charitable fund. Fidelity runs one and I understand the fees are very reasonable.
