Professional Advisors
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.
