The Giving Practice has served its clients in may ways, including: strategic planning; research and development of philanthropic programs; benchmarking research; assessments of community perceptions of foundations; assistance with foundation governance; facilitation of board and staff retreats; development of grant guidelines and grants management systems; surveys of grantees and convening of grantees; executive searches; and coaching of foundation staff.   We work with families starting new foundations and with many well-established foundations and corporate philanthropic programs.
