Uses
Panama Private Foundation has its origins in the Law 25 of 1995, which in turn
was inspired in the “Liechtenstein Persons and Company Act”,which
contains one of the first references to the private non profit foundations.
In Panama, this and the most recent innovations in the Anglo-Saxon Trust
enabled the creation of the Private Foundation utilizing the best features
and characteristics
of both worlds.
A Panama private foundation is a legal entity that can be created by either
a natural person or a corporation that later transfers part or all of his/her
assets to the Private Foundation so they can be managed and protected in favour
of the Beneficiaries.
Some of the uses of the foundation are the following:
Family support
Protection and management of assets
Educational purposes
Testamentary purposes

Advantages

of the Foundations objectives.

funds, securities or shares carried out by reason of the fulfillment of
the objectives of the foundation or the termination of the same, in favour

Confidentiality
The Law 25 of 1995 innovates in this field when it stipulates on Article 35
that all the members of the Foundation Council, Protector, public or private
servants that have knowledge of the activities, affairs, transactions and operations
of the foundation must maintain reserve and confidentiality at all moments.
The only information made public are the names of the Founder, the member (s)
of the Foundation Council and the name of the Protector, this last if it is
so established on the Foundation Charter, as the Protector can be appointed
by
means of a private and confidential document.
The Foundation Regulations are for internal purposes of the Foundation and are not a matter of public records. Information regarding names of beneficiaries and of the protector and method for distribution of assets can be contained within the Regulations, and thus will not be publicly disclosed.
