Community Foundation Spark Session: Readying Your Community Foundation to Serve Philanthropic Families

There are resources available from this event.

To access, please LOGIN or JOIN THE FAMILY.

You’ve successfully attracted Donor-Advised Funds and developed solid relationships with those founding donors. But now they’re asking for help with tougher issues such as preparing heirs to be responsible givers, dealing with geographic dispersion and generational differences in giving, and improving family communications and problem-solving skills. (If they’re not asking now, they will be soon…). How will your foundation respond, and should it?

On this Spark Session, your peers will offer advice for building on strong donor stewardship practices and philanthropic services to offer a range of family philanthropy services. The webinar will also preview NCFP’s two new tools for community foundations:  a self-assessment of your readiness to offer effective family philanthropy services, and a Family Philanthropy Playbook to help you define, plan, and launch those services.

Special offer

We are pleased to offer representatives from community foundations that are not yet part of the Community Foundations Family Philanthropy Network one complimentary registration to a Spark Session of your choice.
