Family businesses around the world are often seen as cornerstones of their communities, contributing not just to the economy but to social and cultural enrichment as well. One key aspect of this contribution is their engagement in philanthropy and community initiatives. For many family-owned enterprises, giving back is not just an ancillary activity but a core component of their identity. https://lnkd.in/eR5fR_tX

We work with family business, family office, and family enterprise owners all over the world. Each family and owner group is unique, but we’ve found that they often come to us with similar questions.

How can you involve the next generation in your philanthropic efforts to foster a connection to the family values and enable meaningful collaboration? Check out Our Practice page on our website to see what family owners are asking and the further resources we have. #FamilyBusiness #Ownership

Thanks Sandy Fernandez for this piece in the Chronicle - "To help these businesses succeed and build a more #inclusive economy, philanthropy can make complementary #investments in #smallbusiness training providers and community development financial institutions, #CDFIs — nonprofit lenders that provide affordable #capital to underserved communities. Unfortunately, in my experience, many well-meaning funders focus on one-off programs, such as grants for diverse entrepreneurs, when the bigger opportunity for impact lies in addressing broader gaps in small-business support." National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD)'s Small Business Program is an impactful place for #philanthropy to support small-business assistance groups in building their capacity to connect small businesses to affordable capital and coaching and help stabilize commercial districts. There are programs like ours and community groups with effective and culturally appropriate solutions and approaches ready to partner with philanthropy to create an equitable economy.
