Who:

NCFP’s Board Chair Peer Network, chaired by Liz Bonner and Katherine Osborne Valdez, is designed for board chairs of family foundations in NCFP’s member network.

Please note this Peer Network is available only to NCFP’s family philanthropy members. Learn more about joining the NCFP network here.

In family philanthropy, there can be an inherent tension between balancing individual philanthropic priorities with a collective family philanthropic endeavor.

Families’ abilities to work together effectively in their philanthropy is dependent not only on the way they design their collective giving, but also in how they structure the philanthropic activities outside of it.

The responsibility of the board chair is to move families through the process of using multiple approaches for structuring family philanthropy systems to meet these varying goals.

In this interactive discussion with Ashley Blanchard, learn about the range of philanthropic vehicles, strategies, and practices that multi-generational families are leveraging when facing similar dilemmas of balancing individual and collective goals. 

The final 30 minutes of each board chair peer network call will be open peer space for connection, regardless of the topic.
