The Family Office Association (FOA) is a global membership organization exclusive to single family offices and families of wealth. We are based in Greenwich, Connecticut but have members from all over the United States and around the world. Our membership realizes the value of coming together in a confidential setting to share ideas and compare notes. The Family Office Association seeks to provide the combination of privacy and openness where relationships of trust can grow.
The Family Office Association was started by the entreaty and with the guidance of a handful of single-family offices in Greenwich, Connecticut, who wished to have a regular and safe place to meet others with single family offices and share ideas. True to that spirit, FOA is the trusted and respected source that family offices and families of wealth can turn to for peer networking, expert resources, and fresh perspectives on how to maintain vigorous multi-generational wealth. FOA is the advocate of the concept of establishing and sustaining a single family office devoted to the:
- Preservation of family wealth
- The fostering of Stewardship in the next generation, and
- The expansion of family philanthropic Legacy
FOA endeavors to find the best experts and notables in the family office industry to educate the membership at our Spring, Summer and Fall Summits, Monthly Breakfast & Luncheon Roundtables, Member Led Peer-to-Peer Sessions, Special Events and Member Retreats.
