Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania, has announced a first-of-its kind philanthropy workshop that aims to help affluent individuals and families develop their own effective giving programs.

Dubbed “The Franklin Seminar,” in honor of one of America’s first philanthropists (and university founder), Benjamin Franklin, the practicum will offer participants a chance to have their giving strategies reviewed by experts in the field. Sessions include Developing a Strategic Approach to Philanthropy; Shaping Your Strategy: Identifying the Family’s Talents, Tools and Causes; A Look at Current Giving; Implementing Your Grant Making; and Monitoring, Measuring, Evaluating and Learning From Results.

The seminar will be November 10-12 on Penn’s main campus in Philadelphia.

The fee for the workshop is $6,500 per person, or $5,000 per person if multiple members of one family attend. Fees include hotel, meals, workshop and all seminar materials. Attendance is limited to 30 people.
