Legal Matters for Community Foundations
Led by Suzanne Friday, Counsel for the Council on Foundations and Brad Ward, Director of Community Philanthropy, this workshop is flexibly organized to ensure that broad legal questions for administering funds, grants, and community foundation activities are addressed. The workshop provides both technical and practical understanding of complex rules and regulations and delivers on the most pressing issues and topics of the community foundation field. Throughout the day, sessions will be curated with the help of insight gleaned from the Council's legal team, as well as trends spotted by community partners, including the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations. In addition, input will be received directly from the participants. With each session, there will be time for questions and deeper exploring of the answers.

Funders are often described—and describe themselves—as being able to take risks that neither the private sector nor the government can or will take. However, no industry standard currently exists for defining, assessing, and managing risk in philanthropy. Few grantmakers assess risk during the application process and even fewer have processes in place to manage risks to impact after a grant is made. Without being aware of the parameters of risk, one can’t adequately plan or manage risk, let alone take the risk.
