Charitable Giving
Structures that let generosity serve both your values and your legacy.
Charitable giving can be one of the most personally rewarding parts of an estate plan — and one of the most tax-efficient when structured well. The choice of vehicle matters: a direct gift, a donor-advised fund, a private foundation, and a charitable trust all produce different results.
We help clients align their giving with their goals, both personal and financial.
What this work includes
- Charitable remainder trusts (CRT)
- Charitable lead trusts (CLT)
- Donor-advised funds
- Private foundations
- Gifts of appreciated assets
- Integration with estate and tax planning
We work alongside the client's tax and financial advisors to make sure charitable strategies fit the whole picture.
