After the establishment of a family foundation, the donors of funds or property are usually family members. Of course, for private foundations in the United States, if individual members outside the family donate their business or personal property to the foundation based on their recognition of the foundation, it will not affect the family characteristics of the foundation.

The money or property donated by the foundation is usually provided by one or several family members or companies. Therefore, this kind of foundation may have the characteristics or functions of the family office at the same time, or be part of the daily business of the family office.

To establish a real family foundation with the purpose of realizing long-term family inheritance, it must be gradually promoted through more detailed document contracts, system norms and structural design under the guidance of relevant experts in the field of foundations. After years of practice and exploration, Youmai summed up a set of successful models to support the development of family offices in China, and formed a high-end circle network: Youmai Family Office Alliance.
