How Friends Make a Difference

Friends of the Family share with us a belief in the value and potential of family philanthropy. This belief moves them to continually enhance their own philanthropy and to support and encourage the giving of others.

For this reason, Friends of the Family are our natural partners in this work. They recognize that the National Center for Family Philanthropy—because of its special and specific commitment to this very personal and vital grantmaking—is uniquely positioned to advocate for and support family giving in many ways.
