Family Philanthropy

THE ASSOCIATED’s Center for Funds & Foundations (CFF) can help you engage your children or grandchildren in charitable giving.  

  • If you have a philanthropic fund or supporting foundation, consult with CFF professionals to identify creative strategies for integrating your children or grandchildren in grantmaking decisions. 
  • Or, designate a portion of your giving to each of your children or grandchildren to allocate on their own. 
  • Or, think about creating a philanthropic fund specifically for your children or grandchildren as a vehicle for them to participate in charitable giving, independent of your own philanthropy.

Every Story Matters
By Lauren Klein, Director of Family Philanthropy

Jewish tradition is rich with stories we have passed down for generations. Stories retell our history, transmit our values, and pass along important life lessons. Stories are a powerful, inspirational and educational tool.

At the seder last month, we gathered with families and friends to remember the Passover story. We are commanded to tell the story of the Exodus. “Remember” is a theme of the evening. “Remember that you were strangers in the land of Egypt … Remember that the Lord took you out of the bondage of slavery.”

Sharing stories gives every family member a new and important connection to the past. It also enables you to capture stories, connect generations and preserve legacies. Do you know your family story?
