Explore the Family Giving Lifecycle

The Family Giving Lifecycle is a seven-stage framework that encompasses the breadth and inflection points of family philanthropy and orients donors to effective outcomes. 

Each stage has a primer and includes worksheets to help you apply the concepts to your work as well as a playbook that you can create with your family to codify decisions and plan your course of action.
