The legendary businessman and philanthropist Ed Snider was a titan of Philadelphia sports. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, owned Philadelphia's NBA team, the 76ers, and even ran the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team back in the 1960s. But Ed's philanthropic legacy is just as illustrious. He helped found the Ayn Rand Institute, created the Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets at his alma mater the University of Maryland, and established a charitable family foundation to involve his six children in his philanthropic endeavors.
Ed's son Craig joins Peter on this episode of Giving Ventures to discuss his father's giving, the importance of donor intent, and the complexities that come with charitable giving in a large family. Craig served as executive director of the Snider Family Foundation.
