Philanthropy is becoming a central pillar of UHNW family governance, offering a practical way to educate heirs, foster stewardship, and shape shared values. This session will explore how charitable vehicles such as foundations, donor advised funds, and purpose driven trusts can be integrated into succession planning, next gen engagement, and cross border planning.
