Our Capabilities

Philanthropic Planning

A family's or institution's giving objectives, the long-term issues it supports and the way members take part.

Next-Generation Leadership

Programs in which young members lead social and practical projects with outside partners and present the results.

Education And Exchange

Academic, research and cross-cultural programs designed with universities and research institutions in the United States and China.

Mentors And Partners

Mentors, partner organisations and a continuing community around each program.

Programs that bring several institutions together on a shared issue sit within Multilateral Partnerships & Global Impact.02 →

How This Practice Works

  • The Family's Purpose First

    Programs follow the values and issues a family or institution intends to carry forward.

  • Projects With Outside Partners

    Participants work with universities, foundations or community partners and present what they produced.

  • Reviewed Each Cycle

    Each cycle is reviewed with the family or institution before the next one is planned.
