Startup Services

We are committed to making the creation of a new foundation as easy as opening a brokerage account. Once you have made the decision to start a new foundation Ensemble will take care of everything. We will have you fill out a simple one-page form with your basic information and schedule a meeting for a couple of days later where you will sign the appropriate paperwork. In general, we can have a new private foundation account open in just three to five days and the fee is a very modest $3,750.

This combination of investment expertise and streamlined, cost-effective administration now enables families to set up economically viable foundations with as little as $250,000 and, for foundations of any size, to maximize their philanthropic impact. All you have to do is decide which endeavors you’d like to fund and how big to make the checks.
