Family Philanthropy

Triangle Community Foundation is proud to work with many family funds. And like every family, each family fund is different. We work with family members, including children and grandchildren if desired, to help fundholders develop an effective structure and framework for family philanthropy. We help families consider their common values and interests and use these principles to establish grantmaking priorities.

Special services for families include facilitated meetings and exercises to examine ways to make your philanthropy more meaningful.

We can help your family:

Consider common values and interests and use them to establish an effective framework for your family’s philanthropy.
Involve your children or grandchildren through training, volunteer or grantmaking opportunities or family meetings.
Plan for intergenerational succession of endowed family philanthropic funds.
