Key Points
· Using a broad group of family and independent foundations from a representative sample of Georgia foundations, the authors examined differences in giving patterns between family and independent foundations.
· Findings confirm the result of previous work that studied large foundations.
· There are no substantial differences between family and independent foundations’ preferences even when controlling for a nonprofit’s location and size.
· These findings are relevant for discussions about the role of non-family members on boards.
