Family Involvement

Involving your family in the grantmaking decisions offers unique opportunities to pass along family values:

• provides a unique forum for families to work together.
• offers the opportunity for several generations to join in a common purpose.
• may become the “link” that connects families whose branches are increasingly geographically dispersed.
• may replace a family business that has been sold as the family enterprise that holds the family together.
• may provide a learning opportunity about investments for succeeding generations.
