How do parents capture and hold childrenÕs interest in participating in the family foundation? That was the question Bob and Wendy Graham asked themselves when they started the Namaste Foundation in 1987.
Building Family Unity Through Giving traces the foundationÕs early years, from its bumpy start to the familyÕs coming together as a functioning board. It also includes a description of the parallel education program the parents created to teach the children to manage and use money responsibly.
Families starting new foundations or preparing to bring the next generation onto the family board will find the GrahamÕs example as instructive today as when their story first appeared 16 years ago. The new edition includes a check-in with the family today.
