I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 164 of EO Radio Show covers the key questions to ask when considering starting a new private foundation. As we roll into September of 2026, I'm seeing the year-end uptick in people inquiring about whether to start a private foundation or not, and if so, how long it will take.

Then I'll outline the key steps and timeline for launching the charity, as well as the initial decisions you should make before getting started.
