Philanthropy Advice: Is Your Knowledge Meeting Client Needs?

Highlights

Recent research from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) revealed a strong interest among high-net-worth individuals, particularly younger generations, in assistance with charitable giving. More than half of 18-34 year old high-net-worth clients said an adviser could help with their philanthropy. However, a separate CAF study found that only 5% of advisers are ‘very confident’ discussing philanthropy.

As a financial adviser, how well are you meeting this demand? Join this webinar to explore opportunities to provide advice, build client relationships, and stay ahead of the competition by offering innovative and trustworthy giving solutions for your clients.

You’ll hear from our panel as they share essential insights to boost your confidence in advising clients on philanthropy, including:

  • Key philanthropy trends
  • How to start a conversation with clients about philanthropy
  • Incorporating charitable giving into client discussions
  • Tax-effective giving methods
  • Insights into Donor Advised Funds
  • Impactful case studies illustrating the potential of client giving
  • CAF advisers research – key findings
