“Philanthropy is the ultimate luxury,” said Hammer. “It is giving away money in hopes of changing something in the world and your community, and doing so with the people closest to you—your family.” Many family offices believe philanthropy must be technical or overly measured to be effective, she continued, and that’s not the case. She asks family offices to consider: “What would it look like if you created a strategy around what you and your family are already passionate about?”
The Business of Wealth: Balancing Passion and Strategy thoughtfully examines the pros and limitations of philanthropy by passion versus strategic philanthropy, and offers ideas and questions for philanthropic families and family offices as they move toward more intentional and impactful philanthropy.
