Giving Strategies
Make a plan–and make your favorite charities part of it
At some point during your adult life, you’ve likely realized that it would be wise to put in place a will, trust, and powers of attorney, as well as undertake at least a basic level of financial planning to stay on track with retirement and other wealth-related goals for yourself and for your family. Perhaps you’re also among the many people who have thoughtfully incorporated charitable giving strategies into a comprehensive financial and estate plan. If you’ve not yet wrapped charitable giving provisions into your will, trust, and financial plans, it’s never too late (or too early) to do so.

Weighing the options: Private foundation or donor-advised fund?
Deciding whether a private foundation or a donor-advised fund is the best vehicle for your client can be challenging, especially if the client walks in the door with preconceived notions. A donor-advised fund at the community foundation may be more flexible and effective than you assume and often is the ideal tool to achieve clients’ tax and charitable giving goals.
