Here’s my latest article published in Foundation Magazine titled “Tax Changes Highlight Value of Philanthropic Planning.”

Read it here: https://bit.ly/TaxChangesHighlightValue

Despite the June 2024 increase in the capital gains inclusion rate to 66.6%, we’ve identified several opportunities for taxpayers to pay less tax and preserve wealth, often just by converting taxes into generous charitable gifts.

There’s never been a better time for professional advisors and charities to help clients and donors incorporate Strategic Philanthropy into their tax and estate planning.

Does Your Charity/Foundation Need Fundraising Help?

Our work with charities and foundations during 33 years of professional practice has produced a considerable body of knowledge, experience and best practices you will want to know about for your organization.

We have helped raise hundreds of millions for charitable organizations, usually by educating their supporters on strategies to convert taxes to generous gifts and sharing best practices with allied professionals in the fields of life insurance, accounting, law and financial services.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us to explore legacy planned giving opportunities and to set up a time for a zoom meeting or old-fashioned phone call.  It will be a great investment of time, and we would love to help
