Living the Legacy: The Values of a Family's Philanthropy Across Generations

Living the Legacy: The Values of a Family's Philanthropy Across Generations - National Center Journal, Volume 3

This Journal highlights one of the most distinguishing and distinctive themes in family philanthropy: Donor Legacy. How does a foundation - and a family foundation in particular - describe and pass on its legacy over time and through generations? How is a donor's intent interpreted, maintained, adapted, and carried out by succeeding generations of trustees and staff? How do children and grandchildren blend their interests and a changing world with the donor's intentions, thereby creating a vital, ongoing philanthropy? Donor Legacy is a testament to how the values of a family's philanthropy across generations can be a powerful living legacy. The resource for family foundation trustees and staff considering the impact and importance of donor legacy-and how they can make it a living legacy!
