Laying the Foundation Part One: Defining the Family and Its Role

Share This Event

Join us as we explore fundamental questions in the context of family philanthropy: “Who is considered family?” and “What is the role of family in family philanthropy?” 

As family philanthropies evolve, choosing how to define family—whether it includes lineal descendants or extends to spouses, chosen family, or others—is essential. Families must also decide how and when to include community voices. We will examine the role family members play in shaping philanthropic goals, decision-making processes, and the long-term impact of their giving, while navigating personal relationships and maintaining a commitment to learning. 

This session will provide valuable insights for families looking to build, refine, or sustain their philanthropy with shared values and vision. This National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP) webinar is a free benefit of MCF membership. Log-in details will be provided in your confirmation email.
