Family Philanthropy Exchange
NCG's Family Philanthropy Exchange (FPE) is peer network providing social and professional development opportunities for the staff and trustees of family and small-sized foundations.
FPE offers nuanced programming for family foundation grantmakers such as:
- Skill-building workshops
- Peer-to-peer learning
- Stories that Inspire: Program series featuring best-practices dialog between an Executive Director and foundation Trustee.
All FPE programming is developed in partnership with the FPE Steering Committee, an NCG member volunteer committee comprised of representatives of family foundations.
All NCG family foundation members are invited to participate in the Family Philanthropy Exchange. To learn more about FPE and its steering committee contact NCG Program Specialist Angela Jones at 415.777.4111 ext. 15 or at ajones[at]ncg[dot]org.
