About the National Center

The mission of the National Center for Family Philanthropy is to promote philanthropic values, vision, and excellence across generations of donors and donor families. Our understanding and experience with the very personal act of giving ensure that these donors and their advisors have access to the highest quality information and the encouragement needed to:

• Articulate, pursue, and achieve their charitable missions;

• Understand and meet their governance and management needs; and

• Have a significant positive impact on the lives and work of those they support

The National Center is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.

"We value the participation of individuals and families in private, organized philanthropy. We are committed to a mission and services based on our fundamental belief in the value of philanthropy and the ongoing participation of the donor and family."
