Setting Up Your Family Philanthropy for Long-Term Success
All families have good intentions when giving assets to charity. They want to share their resources, positively impact the community and show their children how their values are reflected in their philanthropic work.
|
But often, for a lasting family philanthropic program, giving away resources is simply not enough to generate family engagement and community impact. It takes more focus and commitment to build something that carries into future generations. Building out the framework, the ongoing maintenance and evaluating the impact all require added thought and effort. Likewise, you need ways to evaluate what is working and what needs to change.
|
In that way, family philanthropy is like a small business. And like any business, you need a plan and a way of including your family and others to further your progress.
|
When done well, philanthropy can be a bridge to bring family together around a common goal. It can communicate values across generations and develop a sense of social responsibility in the rising generation. However, the construction of that metaphorical “bridge” is where the challenge lies.
|
Establishing a process-driven approach to your giving can help build the bridge across generations and maintain growth within your family philanthropy.
|
The experience of the Miller family, a single-family office, can help illustrate. Their goal was to achieve family cohesiveness, clear communication and evolve together. What they initially lacked in structure they made up for by implementing a clear process to further their philanthropy.
