This chapter from Splendid Legacy: The Guide to Creating Your Family Foundation introduces a variety of governance structures that family foundations use to bring focus and coherence to their policies and procedures. The chapter explores the roles and responsibilities of trusteeship, and invites the reader to consider what trusteeship means to you, your fellow trustees, and those who may one day take a role as a trustee of your foundation.
