Is there such thing as free time? 🌅 My friend and former board president of Search to Involve Pilipino Americans, Edward Malicdem, had a chance to catch up today. Ed served as board president of the non-profit organization for many years. At the end of 2023 his term ended and so I asked the question: What do you do with your downtime? Ed runs the Pasadena office of Merrill Lynch. He has a big job, but he always makes the time to serve the community. This was the first time in a long time that we didn’t talk board “stuff” and just caught up on the family, worldly events and talked shop about the market. These are my favorite #friendships. #commUNITY #boardwork #market #economy #investments #advisors

WAY TO GO Philip Cubeta. When he stepped down from the American College, I was interested in learning what’s next for a professor and philanthropic philosopher I admire deeply.

Understanding what drives philanthropy and what is its purpose are some of the themes at this years Forum on Family Philanthropy in Atlanta led by #NationalCenterforFamilyPhilanthropy. Key takeaways (of just 3 hours yesterday!) 1. Family should serve the Foundation not the other way around. With wide latitude and little accountability it is up to families to take responsibility to do the work with excellence; to use outside experts to address blindspots; and to develop clear governance that is accountable to and earns the trust of the communities they serve. 2. This work is difficult but often becomes more complicated than it needs to be. Our job is help get this precious philanthropic capital out into the world, our communities, in a manner that authentically reflects and involves the people who need it and building trust and concensus on how it’s invested in communities. In 2023, Americans gave away over $557 billion. The division falls roughly to $334 billion by individuals, $103 billion by Foundations and $36 by Corporations. #nationalphilanthropictrust We have great opportunities as board members and stewards to be thoughtful on our decisions and how we make decisions to make sure this capital is effective and impactful. Looking forward to continuing this work to serve families, individuals and foundations!
