Fundamentals of Philanthropy is a five-part series that helps all working in philanthropy better understand the sector.
SESSION 2: Foundation Governance and Legal Issues: What Foundations Can and Can’t Do
Who is philanthropy accountable to? What’s a conflict of interest? How important are board meeting minutes anyway? These and many other thorny questions are addressed in this discussion about how foundations ensure they’re meeting their financial, legal and ethical obligations. We’ll also explore how foundations can use advocacy as a tool for impact beyond grant dollars, and outline the laws and regulations governing work in this area.
