About the Cohort
This cohort is currently in progress. If you are interested in participating in a future cohort, please complete the interest form and consider signing up for the Emerging Family Leaders Peer Network.
This cohort provides an opportunity for emerging leaders to learn core knowledge about family philanthropy and each stage of the Family Giving Lifecycle, connect and learn with peers in similar situations, and grow leadership skills. Eligibility for this cohort includes family members who are on a pathway to a governing role or early in their family philanthropy leadership and is open to NCFP Members and nonmembers.
What is it?
Beginning with an in-person learning experience and continuing virtually, this multi-session cohort will follow a curriculum designed to prepare and sustain emerging leaders through their family philanthropy leadership journey. The program includes workshops about NCFP’s Family Giving Lifecycle curriculum, education from experts in the field, and time to network with other emerging leaders. Participants will learn about topics including:
- Family philanthropy governance
- Rightsizing your philanthropic effort
- Managing conflict
- Best practices in decision-making
- Navigating succession and legacy
- Overcoming psychological barriers to giving
- Successfully engaging next-generation adults
