Governance

Building a Framework for Decision-Making

Understand the benefits of a strong governance framework in which you name how decisions will get made in your philanthropy and by whom.

This primer will help you and your family to establish clear decision-making principles, policies, and practices to ensure long-term success in your philanthropic endeavors.

A practical governance framework breaks the who and how of decision-making into four elements: people, principles, policies, and practices. Use this primer to establish or refine a governance framework for your family philanthropy.

The Family Giving Lifecycle primers are available to NCFP members only.
