Successful Generations

Full show notes can be found at: www.successfulgenerations.com/episode076 Interview Questions:  Tell us a little about the 2020 Trends Study. One of the trends from the study is a continued shift from place-based to issue-based philanthropy. What do you make of this; what does it mean? I’m especially interested in the distinction the data shows in terms of the age and size of the foundation.  Grant priority areas also differed by the age of the foundation. First, what are the top issue areas for family foundations? How do they differ by the age of the foundation? Considering our audience for this podcast, any particular insights from the study related to engaging the next generation? We’ve talked about impact investing on this podcast previously. What did the trends study tell us about mission/impact investing? What can you tell us about family foundation effectiveness? Are families working well together and do they feel they’re effective? What are some characteristics of “very effective” family foundations?
