HRK Structure Integration of long-term investment, financial, tax, and philanthropic estate plans Leadership team consists of CEO, CFO, CIO & CPO Family motto = “Good Stewards with a Generous Spirit” HRK Foundation structure allows for “life-cycle” giving due to having seven funds under one foundation umbrella (older generations give more from their funds and younger generations build their funds as they grow into their philanthropy) Family members contribute annually to their funds so the Foundation’s giving is a combination of 5% of the endowments and pass-through from annual giving

HRK Foundation Giving Philosophy
Family has a strong tradition of general operating support and “quiet giving” – and they believe “showing up” consistently for grantees is important Family believes that giving consists of more than just grants – PRIs, Impact Investing, volunteering, advocacy, networking funders

Dayton Family Philanthropic Structure
Pros Diffuses potential for conflict Creates flexibility to focus on individual philanthropic objectives Increased number of individuals involved in philanthropic decisions Reduced complexity – family dynamics Increased complexity – administration Allows for anonymous giving Cons Lack of asset aggregation reduces potential impact of charitable dollars No family “glue” Does not promote a unified family legacy
14
HRK Foundation Structure
Pros Family has the support of the family office Flexibility in giving by each family unit Individual passions can be funded Collaboration can increase grant impact Provides family “glue” Cons Formal structure that meets regularly Conflicts can arise from consensus giving on common fund
