  • Make a meaningful impact on the causes closest to their hearts
  • Complete complex charitable transactions
  • Create legacy guidelines to provide insight and direction as to their future charitable intentions
  • Gain access to a knowledgeable team of professionals who will help empower them to become stronger philanthropists
  • Name successor advisors, including their children and grandchildren, to their fund
  • Create next generation philanthropists while you enhance your relationships with your clients and their heirs
