The Social Investment: Coming Full Circle Through the philanthropic foundation he established in 1917, E.K. Warren acted on his vision to help create a better world for future generations. Today, The Warren Featherbone Foundation seeks to expand that vision by establishing new methods for everyday people to engage in philanthropy. Democratizing Philanthropy As the 401K Plans have allowed Americans to prepare for retirement via investments in the stock market, the Foundation has conceived the “401P”, or Personal Philanthropy Accounts. These 401P accounts will provide an opportunity for everyone to participate in philanthropy through their employers or individually, and in so doing, help them build legacies and tell their family stories to future generations. Congress is now considering legislation in both the U.S. House and Senate designed to amend the IRS tax code to allow the creation of Personal Philanthropy Accounts. If you would like to be a part of our effort to democratize philanthropy, you can help us by contacting your representatives in Congress and encouraging passage of this important legislation. “Children are living messages we send to a time we will not see.” Ultimately, The Warren Featherbone Foundation is about hope for the future. For us to ensure that we create a better world for future generations we must invest in our communities today so that our children and their descendents can look hopefully to the future.
