Moore & Bruce, LLP has been involved in the formation and
operations of a large number of charitable organizations.
Its first client was an orphanage in Central America. It has
advised many domestic US public charities and private
foundations. It has also formed foreign charitable
organizations and qualified some of these as tax exempt
under US rules.
It is especially known for its work with international
charities that operate in two or more jurisdictions.
We advise clients as to the various issues and opportunities
presented by charitable organizations. We help them with the
execution of their eleemosynary goals. In addition, our
attorneys sometimes serve as trustees of charitable
foundations.

Latin America. The Firm formed this organization and
qualified it for tax exempt status.
