Beyond the Family: An Ecosystem Approach to Family Philanthropy
Release Date: 
12/12/2023

The success of family philanthropy is dependent on the willingness of the family to embrace an ecosystem of partners. A terrific example of a family philanthropy that uses an ecosystem approach in its work is the Bainum Family Foundation. By understanding and embracing the roles each stakeholder must play to achieve meaningful societal change, families, staff members, grantees, and community members can better experience stronger relationships, establish clear lines of accountability, employ equitable practices, and learn from each other, making for lasting impact.
