If I had understood how vibrant the field of philanthropy was and how intellectually stimulating the challenges were, I would have gotten engaged earlier.”


What California Donors Want:
In Their Own Voices

The National Center for Family Philanthropy is pleased to announce the release of What California Donors Want: In Their Own Voices. Supported by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation, the National Center commissioned Jan McElwee and Associates to conduct the first-ever study on the goals, motivations, and challenges of a new generation of leading California philanthropists.
 

What California Donors Want provides valuable insight and advice for community and public foundations, regional associations of grantmakers, lawyers, financial advisors, and others who support independent, philanthropic donors.
