The Practice of Family Philanthropy
in Community Foundations

The National Center for Family Philanthropy is pleased to announce the release of The Practice of Family Philanthropy in Community Foundations. Supported by a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the National Center commissioned Ekstrom & Associates to conduct a study and prepare a report on the state of family philanthropy in community foundations.

The findings from this report will lead to:

  • a better understanding of donors and their families by community foundations seeking to work with them, and

  • a better appreciation by donors and their families of the resources and opportunities community foundations provide.
