Learning and Action Cohorts

NCFP learning and action cohorts are multi-session peer cohorts dedicated to deep and shared learning about a specific concept in family philanthropy and how to put the knowledge gained into practice. Each cohort collectively works through a curriculum led by experts in the field. Learning and action cohorts provide a connected and dedicated peer community that helps participants hone their practices and gives them the tools they need to take action.
