of Small Foundations'
National Conference September 18-20, 2008.
More than 700 donors,
trustees and staff of small foundations from around the country gathered in Denver, Colorado for three days of learning and
networking.
Virginia Esposito, Founder
and President of the National Center for Family Philanthropy, will
presented The Value of Family in Philanthropy: Making the Case.
What are the greatest challenges facing donor families? What
are the greatest opportunities? How might these challenges and
opportunities change in the next decade? What are your hopes for the
future of your family’s philanthropy?
National Center Vice
President Susan Price and Claire Costello, National Practice Executive,
Philanthropic Management, at Bank of America, presented Thriving
Trees: Succession with Many Family Branches:
As foundations
age and families grow, some foundations find that there are too many
family members for the number of slots on the foundation’s board of
trustees. What are models for keeping as many people as possible
engaged in the foundation’s work, even if they can’t serve on the
board?
