The pain
Sound familiar?
- Granting to a foreign organization means ED or ER — or the grant is a taxable expenditure — with pre-grant inquiry, written agreements, separate accounting, and 990-PF reporting per grant.
- Staff capacity for that diligence is scarce, especially for smaller foundations.
- Your 5% payout creates annual deployment pressure — you need vetted, ready-to-fund pipelines, not a cold search.
The answer
How Premier answers
Curated, ready-to-fund deal flow
Vetted children's organizations grouped into thematic funds, each with diligence already done.
The intermediary model, productized
A US 501(c)(3) conducts diligence, oversees grants, and obtains reports — the “Friends of” efficiency the Council on Foundations endorses, without you standing one up.
Diligence outsourced, oversight retained
Verified scores, M&E validation, and dated reporting keep you in control while we carry the burden.

The model
What it looks like
Choose a fund or organizations from pre-vetted deal flow
recommend a grant or multi-year commitment to the 501(c)(3)
monthly distribution conditioned on reporting
grantee reports delivered back to you in a form your records and 990-PF can use
You recommend where your giving goes; our board retains final discretion over every distribution. A pledge is an expression of intent — nothing is charged or owed, and no payment details are collected; we finalize together on your call. Premier gifts are designed to be tax-deductible through Weza Care Solutions, a US 501(c)(3).
