The Family Foundation & Donor-Advised Fund Network is a group of PhilMO Members who are staff or board members / trustees of family foundations, donor-advised fund holders, and community foundation staff who work directly with philanthropic families.
This Network exists to deepen our connectivity and learning related to the unique needs and perspectives of family foundations and donor-advised funds, including navigating interpersonal and intergenerational dynamics. As a Network, we also desire to grow in our understanding of effective philanthropic practice and to support each other to be more stratgic and impactful in our communities and in the philanthropic ecosystem in Missouri.
