FAQ
In-depth answers to common questions!
At New Foundations, we understand that stepping into the world of trusts, 508(c)(1)(a) ministries, and private legal structures can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve never been exposed to these tools before. That’s exactly why we’ve created this in-depth FAQ section: to break down complex concepts into plain, honest language that empowers you to make informed decisions for your family, your business, or your ministry.
Whether you’re wondering how a 508(c)(1)(a) is different from a 501(c)(3), what it takes to start a private trust, or if you’re even “qualified” to pursue these tools (hint: you are), we’re here to offer clarity. We don’t believe in gatekeeping or upselling—we believe in equipping you with knowledge that was never meant to be kept out of reach in the first place.
This is your foundation. Let’s build it strong.

What is a 508(c)(1)(a) and how is it different from a 501(c)(3)?
A 508(c)(1)(a) is a type of tax-exempt religious, educational, or charitable organization that is automatically recognized by the IRS—without the need to formally apply using Form 1023 like a 501(c)(3). It offers the same tax-exempt benefits but allows for greater autonomy and privacy, making it ideal for ministries, homeschool groups, and community-based efforts.
It’s a powerful structure for those who want to serve their mission without government entanglement.
Do I need to be wealthy to create a trust?
Absolutely not. One of the biggest myths is that trusts are only for the rich—when in reality, a trust is simply a legal tool to help protect what you have and pass it on intentionally. Whether you’re trying to secure your family home, a small savings account, or your legacy for the next generation, a trust helps you take control of your assets and shield them from probate and outside interference.
If you have something worth protecting, you’re ready for a trust.
What is a PMA (Private Member Association) ?
A PMA is a private, member-based structure that allows like-minded individuals to associate and operate outside many public regulatory frameworks. They are commonly used for holistic health practices, educational co-ops, ministries, and family-centered communities.
If you want to protect your right to serve your community or family without government overreach, a PMA might be the right vehicle.
Is all of this legal? Can I really do this myself?
Yes, this is 100% legal when done correctly—and yes, you absolutely can do it yourself with the right guidance and support. At New Foundations, we walk you through each step with plain language, free courses, and donation-based consultation.
We believe in teaching you how to build the foundation yourself—not forcing you to rely on expensive gatekeepers.
How much does it cost to get started?
All of our educational materials are offered completely free, with the option to donate if you’re able. Consultations are donation-based and designed to fit your situation—our goal is to make these tools accessible to anyone, regardless of income.
Cost should never be a barrier to your freedom. That’s why we’re here.
