PLANNING THAT REFLECTS VALUES

WHAT’S THE CATCH?

Nonprofits offer our planning process to their supporters with absolutely no obligations. In fact, unless the individual shares their intentions, the nonprofit will not know any details of the plan. We are not fundraisers, and we will NEVER ask nor pressure anyone to make a gift. We work closely with the individual to determine their driving values, merge them with their planning objectives and create a plan that accomplishes both.

Often, individuals choose to redirect tax dollars to charity. The sponsoring nonprofit may receive a gift as a result, but the individual ultimately chooses who will benefit from the plan. Typically, plans that include charity benefit more than one organization.
