HOW TO START A CHARITABLE GIVING CONVERSATIONHOW TO START A CHARITABLE GIVING CONVERSATION

Over time, charitable giving has evolved into something more than a weekly envelope in the church offering plate. It’s become a way for your clients to leave a positive mark on their community, and financial advisors are a growing force in helping them.

Questions to start the conversation include:

  • Is there anything you’d like to incorporate into your plan for your church and/or the community?
  • What kind of legacy would you like to leave?
  • Would you consider charitable planning if it helped you financially through tax benefits and/or lifetime income?
