Take the Next Step

  • With public funding being reduced in many areas, private giving plays a critical role in supporting essential causes. Strategic giving ensures your donations are timely, targeted, and aligned with both your values and today’s most pressing needs.

  • We help you structure your giving using tools like donor-advised funds, charitable trusts, and private foundations — all integrated into your broader financial and estate plan. Our approach ensures your giving is purposeful, tax-efficient, and aligned with your long-term goals.

  • A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants over time. It’s a flexible, low-cost way to support causes you care about while managing the timing of your giving.

  • Absolutely. We help you incorporate philanthropy into your legacy — whether through planned gifts, family giving strategies, or multi-generational donor-advised funds — so your values and impact live on.

  • Not at all. Many clients come to us with a general desire to make a difference but need help refining their focus. We help you identify causes and organizations that align with your values, priorities, and long-term vision.
