Passing the Baton: Generations Sharing
Leadership (Teleconference)
July 10 | 11 am
While the field of family philanthropy has been resourceful
in promoting next generation involvement, it has done
little to address succession issues for the senior generation
or to consider options for shared, multi-generational
leadership. In this teleconference sponsored by the
National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP), Alice
Buhl, Senior Fellow at NCFP and Director of Philanthropic
Services for Lansberg, Gerick and Associates, will discuss
her new publication on this topic in an interview with
NCFP Founder and President Virginia Esposito. Attendance
is free for Donors Forum Members. Register through
Donors
Forum's website.

How Funders Can Choose to Manage
Advocacy Campaigns (Webinar)
July 15 | 1 - 2:30 pm
What questions should funders ask themselves before
committing to an advocacy strategy? Should funders set
up and manage their own campaigns, support campaigns
of advocacy organizations or coalitions, or establish
a new entity to develop and run campaigns? What are
the different management styles that funders can employ
when supporting advocacy campaigns. Should campaign
strategies and tactics be decided by the funders, grantees,
or campaign consultants? Stuart Schear, Communications
and Policy Executive at Atlantic Philanthropies, will
moderate this free webinar sponsored by the Forum of
Regional Associations of Grantmakers (FRAG) and Atlantic
Philanthropies. Register online by visiting the FRAG
