Balancing Internal Vs. External Missions in Family Philanthropy

What is your family’s dream for philanthropy? Are you primarily interested in achieving a particular grantmaking mission? Or are you interested in creating an opportunity for family members to come together and strengthen family ties through philanthropy and service to others? For many philanthropic families, the answer to this question is not either/or – it’s both. Join us for this in-depth conversation with two family foundations that have found successful strategies for thoughtfully defining, measuring, and tracking both their internal, family focused, and their external, community focused, missions.

What others have said...

Just the validation, inspiration and idea-generation we needed, thank you!

This is a very critical issue right now as our family foundation grapples to determine a balance and building consensus, and I found it very helpful to hear about what others have successfully been able to do defining both an internal and external mission. I think sharing the resulting link to this webinar will be very helpful!

It was helpful for me to see how you measure family engagement and how you have created incentives for participation.

Timely topic for us – great concrete examples as well as what we can do now and in future.

Well organized and engaging.  I was surprised but rotating back and forth between presenters went really well and made it more engaging than a typical webinar.
