Family Philanthropy Online

A Comprehensive Online Knowledge Resource on Family Foundations & Family Giving, Available Free to FPN Members

Florida Philanthropic Network is committed to providing our members with practical tools, information and guidance for our members that are interested in family philanthropy. As part of these ongoing efforts, we are pleased to partner with the National Center for Family Philanthropy to offer our members free access to the Family Philanthropy Online Knowledge Center (FP Online).

FP Online is a searchable, comprehensive, and constantly updated collection of downloadable articles, case studies, profiles, research reports and discussion papers focused on issues and topics of specific relevance to family foundations and family giving.  Examples of topics in the Knowledge Center include:

> Teaching and involving your children in family philanthropy;

> Managing family dynamics in philanthropic decision-making;

> Creating a mission statement and finding a focus for your grantmaking;

> Understanding the legal and ethical dilemmas of family philanthropy;

> And much more...

FP Online will be a useful tool for board and staff members of family foundations as well as for community foundations that help families with their philanthropy.
