Convenings

NCFP hosts the National Forum on Family Philanthropy every other year. The forum draws practitioners from around the world for three days of learning and networking. 

In alternating years, we invite principals, board members, and CEOs to join our Family Philanthropy Leadership Retreat, which equips them with the tools they need to build their leadership skills in service of more effective family philanthropy.
