Our Programs The Dream Principle “While we all have our own foundations, the family foundation brings us together as a family.  There is a common vision which sustains what Grampa Sam would have wanted.” Stephen Bronfman, President Sam and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation The Family Philanthropy Institute You love this community. You helped build its institutions and create a strong foundation for the future. Now you may be thinking about your legacy - something that reflects who you are and your family values; something that says you were here-that you left a significant imprint on the future. And you want to entrust your children with ensuring your philanthropic dreams are carried on beyond your lifetime. Establishing a family giving tradition that transcends generations is about more than money. It's a process which involves an exchange of values and an examination of what your family stands for. And getting started can be complicated. Every day, the JCF deals with many of the issues that philanthropic families face (whether it be a private or public foundation) – thinking strategically, intergenerational decision-making and maximizing the impact of philanthropic giving. The Family Philanthropy Institute (FPI) is a resource centre for families who wish to ensure that their philanthropic traditions are passed down to their children and grandchildren. We have the tools to help you get started on the path to creating a family legacy that reflects your goals and those of your children. We can help you: Identify family values and reasons for giving as a family; develop your mission statement, goals and objectives Explore funding opportunities and ways your philanthropy can make the greatest impact Establish granting criteria and tax-wise philanthropy mechanisms that will help you achieve your goals We can provide you with: Education Workshops and educational seminars on intergenerational family foundation issues and solutions including: Funding opportunities The funding process Strategic philanthropy vehicles Access to resource materials, publications Fund Management Monitoring and evaluating funded projects Download the FPI Workbook for Families What financial professionals should know
