Your Partner in Philanthropy
For more than 40 years, Wayne County Community Foundation has worked hand-in-hand with professional advisors to help their clients achieve their philanthropic goals.
Alongside your expertise as a professional advisor, we keep a pulse on giving trends and the best ways to structure tax-wise charitable gifts from year-to-year, given changes in legislation and markets – and if we don’t know an answer about potentially complicated gift scenarios, we have access to knowledgeable partners who can get us answers quickly.
Whether you’re a CPA exploring the advantages of “bunching” when starting a donor advised fund, a lawyer working on an estate plan for the future, or a financial advisor helping to compare the difference between setting up a commercial gift fund versus a fund at a community foundation, we can help you weigh various options to ensure that you’re helping your clients make the most informed decisions possible.
Make Giving Easy for Your Clients
Most of the professional advisors with whom we partner are looking for concise information regarding our finances and investments, how their clients can make gifts to the causes they care about quickly and easily, and sample bequest language they can use to get started on client wills and bequests. If you’re looking for additional information or you’d like to discuss a topic we haven’t covered here, please reach out.
