The National Center for Family Philanthropy is a network of philanthropic families committed to a world that is vibrant, equitable, and resilient. We share proven practices, work through common challenges, and learn together to strengthen our ability to effect meaningful change.
As a trusted partner to philanthropic families, we understand the complexities, challenges, and opportunities of giving together, and we equip families to effectively navigate the changing world. We support family philanthropy decision-makers—including principals, board members, executive leaders, and staff members—by offering signature programs and events, cohort and peer-based learning opportunities, tools and resources, community, and individualized support.
Our mission is to activate a diverse community of philanthropic families to embrace a bold vision and realize their greatest giving potential. To achieve that mission we:
- Elevate a bold vision for family philanthropy and the practices of intentional and impactful giving by calling on families to reflect on the responsibilities of effective philanthropy and to align their capital with their values.
- Equip family philanthropies with communities of support and resources to inform and transform giving. NCFP facilitates learning, connection, and action by cultivating a growing network of donors and providing best-in-class guidance and sector resources.
- Activate philanthropic families by ensuring they have the information to inform giving decisions and the support they need as they take action.
We invite you to learn more about how to join the NCFP community and to reach out with questions.
