Led by Founding Frey Foundation Chair for Family Philanthropy, Dr. Michael Moody

The National Summit on Family Philanthropy was a biennial program that ran from 2011–2019. The event brought together family donors, national thought leaders, and other philanthropic professionals and entrepreneurs for a highly interactive, thematically focused, in-depth, and solutions-driven dialogue about a timely challenge facing the field. The peer-to-peer discussions were designed to yield practical recommendations and resources to help family donors of all sorts improve their giving.
