The family foundation with which I am working wants to reach out to the broader family to explore their interests and feelings regarding giving, being engaged as a family member, and the strategic focus of the foundation’s philanthropy.

 

They are exploring casting a pretty wide net, thinking about including young members of the family to get their opinions or ideas.  While the foundation’s giving is generally focused in Northern Virginia, there are members of the broader family in multiple states, many of whom do not know much about the organizations currently being supported.

 

Does anyone have a sample of a survey or tool that they’ve used to help a family foundation reach out to their members in this way?  It doesn’t have to be exactly on point, but an example will help me to help them to get the ball rolling.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Very nice to “e-meet” many of you yesterday in the virtual cafe!  I’m glad to be part of the network, and if there is any way I can be of service to your practice, please do not hesitate to reach out.

 

Have a good weekend.
