Ensuring continuity of both your
family harmony and your family business is as much an art as it is a science.
Such is the case with family foundations.
For a family with means, and perhaps also as a model for a family with fewer resources, a family foundation may offer just a unifying bond.
A family foundation represents a way of doing good as a family and even making those foundation goals the goals of the family itself. This kind of unifying goal was explored by CNBC in an article titled “Family Foundations Prepare for the Next Generation.”
If you are the family member who established the family foundation, the goal should expressly be to include and to establish a succession for your family foundation. In point of fact, a family foundation is like a family business and shares many of the same concerns, anxieties, and goals.
Now, even a family of modest means can see the value in the family foundation model. If for no other reason, your family foundation can be a means of doing good as a family and letting everyone in the family work together to accomplish that good end.
