Family Foundations
Giving Through Your Family Foundation
A family foundation is a type of private foundation created and funded by a family, often managed by multiple generations working together. These foundations provide a flexible, enduring way to carry out a family’s philanthropic vision – allowing it to evolve as the family grows and its priorities shift.
Many Wilderness defenders use their family foundations to express their shared values and to take bold action for conservation. As families pass along their love for wild places, foundation giving can become a powerful way to strengthen those traditions and help ensure that future generations inherit the same wonder, quiet, and clarity found in the Boundary Waters.
