Our Directors needed a succinct crash course in data and trends surrounding family foundations today. When I called NCFP to ask “who can you recommend?” the staff eagerly volunteered to put a presentation together and present it remotely. Through our association with NCFP and their stellar team, our 13 Directors now have a keen understanding of relevant data on family foundations and how we measure up. I cannot thank NCFP enough!  —Chris Steed, Executive Director, Fullerton Foundation

The National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP) is the only national nonprofit dedicated exclusively to families who give and those who work with them. NCFP’s understanding and experience with the very personal act of giving ensures that donors have access to the highest quality information.

NCFP’s Friends of the Family program is available to family foundations, donor-advised funds, giving families, and single family offices.
