The creation of a successful family foundation is about more than just the financial and legal issues. It is an opportunity to create a multi-generational philanthropic legacy for children, grand-children and extended family members.

Shaping a mission and a programmatic strategy that appeals to individual family members with diverse interests and makes a difference can be a challenge. To address this need, the LGI team has developed Reflection Analysis™. A blend of consumer research and clinical psychology, the LGI team draws out individual motivations, passions, and interests and harmoniously builds strategic consensus around foundation goals – without homogenizing individual perspectives. This ensures a family foundation makes a positive and productive contribution to society and community now – and for years to come.

LGI’s Reflection Analysis can be a useful tool for individuals thinking about starting a family foundation as well as those that may have already established the legal and financial parameters of a foundation, but want to take their grant making to a new level.
