Abstract: 

By helping clients to understand the importance of good governance, advisors not only protect them from potential malfeasance but also pave the way for more enriching philanthropic experiences that translate to deeper client/advisor relationships and stronger ties with the next generation. Ideally, family foundation trustees will be engaged in the work of the foundation on various levels: from determining the foundation’s overall mission and philanthropic strategy to codifying the procedures and policies that guide daily operations.
