Session Description:Many independent Schools and educational institutions have long established foundations that offer both advantages and obstacles with regards to governance and facilitating philanthropic support. While foundations add a layer of complexity to day-to-day operations, do the advantages of working through/with a foundation structure outweigh the downsides, or do they pose greater challenges than necessary? Join a lively debate to hear differing perspectives on whether to have, or not to have, is the answer.
