National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP)

Learning and action cohort - ncfp learning and action cohort are ongoing cohorts dedicated to deep shared learning about a specific concept in Family Philanthropy, with an expectation of a commitment to defined action(s) after the completion of the cohort. Each cohort collectively works through a curriculum with discrete learnings carried out by multiple peer learning events led by experts in the field. Learning and action cohorts provide a connected and dedicated peer community while encouraging funders to think differently and commit to learning and real action. Cohorts are gated (by invitation or application).

Events - ncfp offers a range of programs to foster learning for philanthropic families. Programs are rooted in a Family giving lifecycle that provides onramps for families to begin planning, learning, and accessing custom support and resources. Education and events include fundamentals of Family Philanthropy webinar series; peer networks focused on a particular group, population, or topic; learning and action cohorts dedicated to deep shared learning about a specific concept in Family Philanthropy; conferences (including the National forum on Family Philanthropy) workshops, small group conversations, and retreats.

Member resources and support - ncfp aims to ensure that philanthropic families gain clarity of purpose and achieve meaning and impact in their giving, while the field of Family Philanthropy pursues an ambitious vision toward building a more equitable world. In addition activating a network of philanthropic families who are motivated and equipped to effectively deploy their resources, ncfp partners with peer donor-serving organizations to serve as a hub of learning, connection, and action.
