Company History
The Foundation Group first opened its doors to the public in the fall of 1995. Back then, FG was a tax and consulting firm serving the needs of small businesses and nonprofits, mostly in the local, Nashville area. But things didn’t stay that way for long.
We have always occupied a specialty niche in the nonprofit arena. Foundation Group’s CEO, Greg McRay, worked extensively with nonprofits prior to founding FG. So even in the early years, a disproportionate share of our clients came from that community. In January of 2000, Foundation Group made the strategic decision to focus its efforts exclusively on the nonprofit community…and we’ve never looked back! Our client base quickly extended to all 50 states and beyond.
Today
What began as a two-man shop in September 1995 has become over 20 dedicated professionals providing expert formation and compliance services to thousands of nonprofits each and every year. Foundation Group has successfully guided over 12,000 nonprofits through the IRS 501(c)(3) process. Simply put: No firm in America has more experience!
From Form 990 preparation to charitable solicitations registration and other services, our team works hard assisting existing nonprofits with staying fully compliant with state and federal regulations. Our clients stay educated through our frequent articles and online newsletter, semi-annual Boot Camp conferences and our newest initiative, 501(c)(3) University. We will continue to develop both new and updated services to meet the ever-changing needs of the nonprofit community.
