Testimonials

Read on to hear what other foundation founders, trustees, and advisors have to say about Splendid Legacy: The Guide to Creating Your Family Foundation...


“When I was asked ‘why’ I created my family foundation, the answer, for me, is quite simple.  I created the Brainerd Foundation as a way to give back and support the causes that my family and I cared for deeply.

I wish I had a copy of Splendid Legacy back then. It would have been an invaluable resource. The book brings together a wealth of information and offers insightful guidance from people at the top of the field. It is a comprehensive guide for families as they consider the important, lasting decisions of forming a family foundation.”

-- Paul Brainerd,
Founder, Brainerd Foundation,
Social Venture Partners Seattle, and
Puget Sound Environmental Learning Center


"Splendid Legacy is one of the best books on family philanthropy available. It is an insightful, accessible workbook full of practical information and much wisdom." 

-- Charles W. Collier,
Senior Philanthropic Advisor, Harvard University and
Author, Wealth in Families


Splendid Legacy offers a donor considering founding a family foundation a series of responsible answers to the so-often-asked donor question, ‘How shall I begin and carry through my resolve to help others with responsibility, passion, and love, while being as caring as possible?’ "

-- James (Jay) E. Hughes, Jr.,
Partner, Hughes and Whitaker, and
Author, Family Wealth, Keeping it in the Family


“Bravo for the superb work of The National Center for Family Philanthropy. Splendid Legacy is a veritable textbook for those just entering the foundation world.

It offers a lofty and inspiring vision of private philanthropy and down-to-earth wisdom gleaned from the best practices in the field. It is a gold mine of ideas and advice for family foundations looking for a lasting impact.”

-- Dr. Francis J. Butler,
President, Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic Activities, Inc.
