Private Foundation / Family Investing Advice Sought for

Tyler Sample

Hello,

My family has 15,000 mineral acres in south texas as well as 5,000 surface acres. The last three generations have lived off of oil & gas well royalties and it is all going to **** if I am being honest. Selling land left and right, grandparents did not invest, etc.

How can I turn this around? Create my own foundation with the 200-300 acres I will inherit in 20 yrs? Convince my dads generation to allow me to inherit a few acres right now and I can maybe try to multiply that into more capital and create my own foundation?

I am at a loss for words. Any help and advice is appreciated.

Thank you.
