The discussion incorporated real-life scenarios to show how:
- Philanthropy can be an excellent training ground for NextGens to learn about financial and business analysis.
- Engaging in philanthropy can offer a safe and neutral space for young family members to demonstrate responsibility and acumen.
- Intentional philanthropy goes beyond doing good for your community, and how it can strengthen interpersonal ties, bridge generations and build a family’s legacy.
- After the sale of a family business, formalized philanthropy provides a reason to meet, collaborate and promote shared values.
Whittier Trust’s Ashley Fontanetta, Vice President, Philanthropic Services; Channing Grigsby, Vice President, Philanthropic Services; and David Shaw, Publishing Director, Family Business Magazine, provide an overview and best practices for NextGen philanthropy and family continuity.
