Joining a family foundation board as a community trustee is a unique opportunity to share insights grounded in lived experience, professional background, and deep community ties. 

But how—and when—can you most effectively apply this expertise? Join us for a discussion on how to chart your path towards success as a community trustee using tools and frameworks from the Family Giving Lifecycle.  

During this session we’ll discuss:

  • Tactics to help you effectively share and apply your expertise and how others are doing this in their roles
  • The principles of effective family philanthropy and their relevance to your work 
  • The many levers that family foundations have beyond grantmaking, e.g. funding intermediaries and convenings
