Creating private foundations to establish a lasting philanthropic legacy. Setting up charitable trusts for structured giving. Donating luxury assets.

In our ongoing series about philanthropy terms, let's talk about "public-private partnerships." 🤝 Public-private partnerships are when a government agency (the “public”) and a private company team up to fund, build, and/or run projects together. A recent and powerful example is the America the Beautiful Challenge, a grant program funding conservation initiatives. NAP was able to partner with several organizations to pool money and resources from the federal government and private philanthropy so Tribes could access historic levels of funding. Thanks to public-private partnerships, ground-breaking projects can be funded and executed when they otherwise wouldn’t have. #Philanthropy #NativePhilanthropy #PublicPrivatePartnership #Funding #Nonprofit #NativeNonprofit #NativeLed #NativeGiving #NativeAmerican #TribalSovereignty
