“The Grandparent Legacy Project demonstrates that while no two family histories are the same, they are all rooted in the same value system as well as a commitment to empowering the next generation.”

“The Grandparent Legacy Project shows us that the truly successful family foundations are grounded by a legacy of values and experiences, passed on from generation to generation. Even as grantmaking priorities evolve, there needs to be a unifying thread that honors the principles upon which the foundation was created. This book is an invaluable resource for families and family foundations that want their philanthropic past to inform their future.”

“This elegant volume accomplishes a rare triumph of inspiration and practical guidance. It uses the words of an eclectic and endearing group of founders to illuminate both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of giving.  For all those grandparents, children, and grandchildren who are thinking about enriching their families through collaborative philanthropy, this book is the place to start.”

“What a privilege to enter the lives of such diverse people of the world and find the common threads that help us understand such deep commitment to giving of oneself. The beautifully written stories will inspire any reader to examine her/his priorities and deepen one's understanding of the philanthropic values and legacies that can be modeled for the next generation.”

“This inspiring book, drawing on the special relationship between grandparent and grandchild, offers valuable lessons to future generations in opening their pocketbooks and their hearts.”
