FRF Professional Advisors Video
As a professional advisor, the opportunity you have to help your clients achieve their philanthropic goals is both a privilege and a challenge. Fresno Regional Foundation has earned the trust of many professional advisors.
Our staff is skilled in working with people who have many objectives—charitable, personal and financial—and sometimes complex gift situations. As a partner in charitable giving, we can help professional advisors achieve success for their clients—and for the community.
Local expertise from a neutral position
Estate planners, financial planners and other professional advisors are often faced with a delicate dilemma: they would like to discuss the many benefits of charitable giving with clients, but want to avoid recommending specific charitable causes or organizations. Many individuals, corporations, nonprofit agencies and organizations decide to work with us because of our knowledge of local needs and our extensive experience in local problem solving.
We partner with you
Fresno Regional Foundation offers a variety of simple, convenient solutions. A community foundation is a single, trusted resource of charitable giving. We offer a variety of giving options—including the ability for your clients to establish a donor advised fund in their name or anonymously.
We can work the way you need us to—including supplying you with the information you need to help your client make the best, most cost-effective gift. Contact us anytime to ask questions or discuss giving scenarios. We make a range of resources available to advisors who wish to add philanthropic capabilities to their client offering.
We help you build stronger relationships with your clients
