Join us the day after Memorial Day for a complimentary members-only luncheon with our Annual Business Meeting and featured presenter, Justin Steinschriber with the Leon Levine Foundation.

Philanthropy rarely struggles from a lack of generosity or good ideas. More often, the challenge is the opposite: too many priorities and too few clear choices. In recent years, one large private foundation has faced a series of decisions that required intentional focus following the founder’s death: a significant increase in assets, a clarified strategic direction, the addition of new internal capabilities, a shift toward impact investing, and a defined time horizon for the institution’s work. Rather than expanding in every direction, these changes required narrowing priorities, making explicit tradeoffs, and building systems to support disciplined decision-making over time. This session will explore what it takes to create that kind of focus in practice and where things often break down when clarity is absent. This session is particularly relevant for advisors working with clients whose charitable giving has or will grow in complexity over time, regardless of asset size. This is a complimentary member event.
