Philanthropy doesn’t have to be an individual venture and there are many positives of making it a family affair. Our lawyers can advise on how best to get younger relatives involved to re-energize a family foundation and secure a smooth succession.
While some philanthropists set up a foundation as an individual venture, some others may want to get family members involved.
This can be for a variety of reasons, such as a means of passing down the values that matter to them to the next generation, or to provide a ‘safe’ environment for young people to engage with the ‘real’ world and to hone useful decision-making and management skills, or a constructive way to bring branches of a family and generations together on a regular basis. It may also help to set up smooth generational succession, including helping to head off unmet expectations for inheritance and other tensions that can arise when family members feel disenfranchised by the diversion of wealth to charitable causes.
