From today’s announcement by the Purposeful Planning Institute:
“We are pleased to announce that Deborah Goldstein and Bruce DeBoskey have been appointed as co-Deans of Philanthropy.
Philanthropy is an incredibly powerful tool that can be used not only to create lasting positive change in our communities and in the world but also within our own families. Family philanthropy empowers beneficiaries and offsets the fear and danger of entitlement. PPI strives to bring to light new, innovative and cutting edge ideas in Philanthropy and as the Deans of Philanthropy, Deborah and Bruce will work collaboratively to provide relevant information, resources and guidance in Best Practices in Philanthropy for PPI members and the families we serve. These resources will be made available via the PPI website, through our weekly teleconferences, and at events such as the Philanthropic Summit and the annual Rendezvous.
Deborah Goldstein, founder of Enlightened Philanthropy, is dedicated to guiding the next generation in giving. Drawing from more than fifteen years of experience in fundraising and nonprofit management, she engages clients in a tailor-made, intuitive process that reveals their authentic motivation and desire to give. Helping her clients strategize, problem solve, and align their values/interests with appropriate options culminates in an attainable Philanthropy Roadmap. Goldstein bridges the gap between different ages, building meaningful communication and engendering constructive action. As part of her multi-generational practice, she particularly focuses on advising youth as they navigate the world of philanthropy. Deborah is also the creator of Philanthropy Camp for Women.
Goldstein holds a BA in Biology from Wittenberg University and a Master’s Degree in Marine Policy with a Certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Delaware. She is a 21/64-certified consultant.
Bruce DeBoskey, J.D., is a Colorado-based Philanthropic Strategist with The DeBoskey Group, a consulting practice he founded to help individuals and families, businesses and foundations design and implement thoughtful philanthropic strategies and actionable plans.
He writes a regular monthly column “On Philanthropy” which appears in the Business Section of the Sunday Denver Post, is a Teaching Fellow at the Boston College Center on Corporate Citizenship, teaching “Corporate Giving: A 21st Century Approach,” and is a Certified 21/64 Trainer.
Bruce served for nearly 9 years as the Anti-Defamation League’s Mountain States Regional Director, and for 25 years before that, as a Colorado trial lawyer. He holds an B.A.. from Indiana University and received his J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center.
PPI Deans play a significant role in the evolution and transformation of the Purposeful Planning landscape. They come from a variety of professional disciplines and serving backgrounds but will share a common passion for assisting legacy families and families in business to discover the pathway to flourishing lives and families. Each of the Deans are instrumental in forging the thought content and processes we are introducing through our weekly teleconferences and at gatherings such as the annual Rendezvous.”
