Family philanthropy often reflects diverse lived experiences, leading to varied approaches across generations. Instead of suppressing these differences, families may choose to embrace them to enhance their collective impact. By supporting each other’s personal giving strategies, families can drive change on multiple fronts. Research has even shown that honoring these diverse perspectives can create a more robust, united philanthropic legacy. #FamilyPhilanthropy #CharitableGiving #Philanthropy

This post shares the experience of one family foundation with beyond the grant support to nonprofit grantees. The Rogers Family Foundation decided from the start that it "wouldn't just be about giving, but also doing." Are you a nonprofit that has received support beyond the grant from a foundation? What kind of support did you want and receive? What support do you most want from funders? Have you felt pressured to take beyond the grant help even when you didn't ask or want it? Are you a funder who provides beyond the grant support? How has this changed your operations and the needed roles and competencies for foundation staff?

Great insights (and/or reminders) on how foundations can better support their grantees. Is your process and your GMS fostering these practices?

And then being forced to center the shortcomings of your community in order to convince them that your request is justified." - Vichi Jagannathan, Philanthropy in the Deep South Powerful writing and thought-provoking ideas for reimagining philanthropy by a leader who is not just writing about it, but is also doing it. Nonprofit leader: does Vichi's experience match your own? How is it similar? In what ways has your path in fundraising been different? https://lnkd.in/esmGqJWX
