The Top Five Charitable Planning Ideas for the Current Environment
Charitable gift planning strategies have changed dramatically as fewer individuals are exposed to estate and gift tax, and more are experiencing the pain of higher tax rates, the ACA tax, and the return of the Pease limitations. While donors are continuing to give, they are seeking ways to maximize results. How do you identify charitable giving options that best fit the needs of your clients in this rapidly changing environment? In this session you'll learn:
  • The current environment impacting estate and charitable planning 
  • How changes in the law over the last few years impact charitable planning (and what to anticipate in the coming years)
  • How to integrate client's personal estate planning goals with charitable gift options

 

Seven Options in Family Philanthropy

More than 19% of high net worth families in the country have family foundations. Yet most of these foundations are less than $1 million size and are burdened with administrative rules and taxes. What do you offer the client who is interested in creating an institutional form for generational philanthropy, especially after the changes in private foundations, supporting organizations, and donor advised funds under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and the rulings that have followed. This session helps you:

  • Analyze and sort through the options of a private foundation, supporting organization, donor advised fund, charitable lead trust
  • Identify several other even easier options for foundations and donor advised funds 
  • Lead the discussion with the donor or foundation board around setting goals and selecting the entity that best meets their needs
