• Corporate Information — The Foundation Trust had been a nonprofit, charitable corporation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (U.S.A.), with offices in London and in Boston. In addition, the U. S. Internal Revenue Service had determined that The Foundation Trust was indeed a 501(c)(3), publicly supported organization; donations made to The Foundation Trust thus were tax-deductible.

The Foundation Trust was incorporated as nonprofit in Massachusetts 11 May 2000.

Because of our victimization by identity theft and the attendant costs, The Foundation Trust was legally dissolved 27 October 2005. Donations are no longer tax-deductible and are not solicited.
