LFF is organized under the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law. As such, no part of the net income or assets shall ever inure to the benefit of any director, officer or member thereof or to the benefit of any private person.
LFF is a long term endeavor whose management, day to day operations, and financial support come primarily from the family of Jon and Karen Larson commensurate with their long family tradition of giving to and involvement in community non-profit organizations, projects and causes.
LFF is a California based corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It was originally incorporated as Charity Enablers Foundation and was renamed to the Jon and Karen Larson Family Foundation in 2002.
LFF's interests are currently centered primarily in California and Hawaii.
One stated key purpose of this foundation is to provide financial assistance to charitable organizations and individuals engaged in environmental preservation and conservation of resources and in the promotion of public awareness of the need for environmental preservation and conservation of resources.
LFF accepts donor advised donations for distribution to non-profit organizations and individuals whose stated community activities operate within our four main focus areas. Currently 100% of donor advised donations are redistributed through grants. The Donor retains the option to specify (recommend to LFF) how to spend a specific donation.
LFF has an extremely low overhead. All board members, officers, management and advisors currently serve without financial compensation. LFF family assumes 100% of the costs for operating the foundation. Therefore 100% of donations received are applied towards the needs of other individuals and non-profit organizations.
