Join us to learn about the science behind altruistic giving and how one’s life experiences can shape their future as a philanthropist. We will explore the generational differences in giving and how to guide a client to meaningful philanthropy while ensuring the gift is tax efficient. The session will review charitable solutions, including the benefits of the SECURE ACT 2.0 and retirement assets. Finally, we will look to the future and explore the ways to teach children the joys of giving and create the next generation of philanthropists.
