Can you give more with less? Yes. How is that possible?
Ron Haik, with extensive experience working with donors, will discuss how a strategic approach to philanthropy:
The importance of understanding tax laws and various investment vehicles. donors need to pay taxes—but not more than required. strategic gifting options include a will, RRSP/RRIF, marketable securities and life insurance. There are also options such as a “donor advised fund” or a “foundation.” How to give more with less? There are “flow-through” options where you could make a $100,000 donation that cost less than $10,000. In short, the focus is to help donors be good stewards and to lead through strategic philanthropy.
