PODCAST FOR ADVISORS AND CHARITABLE GIVERS

Navigating Generosity is designed for professional advisors and anyone who wants to be better informed when discussing charitable giving with their advisors. Our hosts include Chartered Advisors in Philanthropy® and other professionals in this field, including wealth and financial advisors. In the inaugural episode, we delve into the “Bread and Butter of Planned Giving.” Our goal is to provide valuable insights and practical advice for those involved in or interested in approaching charitable giving in a strategic, impactful way (with a little bit of laughter along the way!).
