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.
