Yes, your Exponent Philanthropy membership dues can count as a qualifying distribution for your foundation. They are considered an administrative expense that supports your foundation’s charitable work.
We recommend treating the dues as an administrative expense rather than a grant. When a foundation makes a grant, it cannot receive any benefits in return. If you classify your membership dues as a grant, you won’t be able to access any member benefits.
