In family philanthropy, times of crisis often prompt difficult but necessary conversations that can help families affirm their values, shape their strategies, and grow their impact. All funders have to grapple with local and national crises—from natural disasters to civil unrest. Family philanthropies may also face internal crises, such as family conflict, the death of a family member, or a divorce. Regardless of the source of tumult, families can use these challenging times to remain steadfast in their work or consider meaningful shifts.
