History
The Tax Reform Act of 1969 created private foundations and imposed greater restrictions upon this classification including excise taxes and lower donor deductions for contributions. This Act created supporting organizations as an exception to private foundations because they were organized, operated, and controlled in the public interest. Supporting organizations were not subject to the problems and abuses found in foundations that led to the creation and associated restrictions on private foundations.
