Scenario

When family members disagree about philanthropic legacy

Our family foundation has grown way beyond what our grandmother ever imagined when she started it, and now my cousins and I are split on whether to keep growing the endowment or start giving most of it away while we're alive to see the impact. Some of us think she'd want us to be bold and transformative with it, others think we're stewards who should preserve it for future generations.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
