Preventing and Resolving Conflicts Over Wealth and Giving


Some families successfully use philanthropy as a means to teach and preserve their family’s particular values while sharing their good fortune with others. Other families fight as the clash of emotions and money brings out the worst in them, motivated by different expectations, perspectives, and priorities. In this interactive session, we will explore ways to prevent and resolve these and other destructive conflicts.

The Rise of Donor-Advised Funds: How It Happened, Why It Matters, and What We Should Do About It


The last several years have seen a dramatic increase in donations to donor-advised funds. While many observers say that this is a helpful trend that is attracting new dollars to the charitable sector, Alan Cantor, a leading critic of donor-advised funds, asserts that funds going into DAFs are not adding to the charitable pie, but are in fact diverting funds from operating nonprofits. He also suggests that the growth in donor-advised funds is driven by the profit motive of financial services firms. Cantor will offer a historical overview of donor-advised funds, along with suggestions for making DAFs work better for charities and for society. Much of the time will be reserved for an open discussion of this controversial and vitally important subject.
