Since 1989, Schaner & Lubitz, PLLC has closed many transactions for disease foundation clients in the field that has come to be known as Venture Philanthropy. Though each charity and transaction have unique aspects, there are some issues that are either regularly raised by new entrants or continue to be the subject of discussion among experienced participants. In this article, we discuss many of these issues in a question and answer format.

We hope that this discussion helps you decide whether your organization should enter the field of Venture Philanthropy or, if you have already done so, we hope that this discussion informs your new transactions.
