Join the Leadership Circle
Leadership Circle members are our most generous supporters, giving NCFP $10,000 or more annually. Their investment helps to advance and sustain the field of family philanthropy, making their membership even more impactful.
In addition to our standard member benefits, once a year, Leadership Circle members may invite NCFP to virtually join a board meeting to present current research and resources. Leadership Circle members also have access to senior leaders at NCFP for consultation on an annual basis.
NCFP has walked beside my board and me through significant generational transitions. And, those transitions have gone as smoothly because of our work with NCFP.
