Family Foundations

Hands Tree

Does your family give together? How and when you choose to bring your children into a conversation about giving will have a lasting impact on their attitudes as adults. Research now shows that people’s lifelong attitudes toward giving are formed very early—between the ages of 5 and 15. Learn about the latest research in the field of family philanthropy and when to start the giving conversation with your children.

What is your family's legacy? With the birth of our own children, we began a decade-long study of the roots of altruism and compassion in children. We also began studying how to meet kids at each developmental stage in order to best nurture compassion and inspire generosity. Here we provide you with resources and tools to support you in raising the "Generous Generation ™."
