For Ira Malis Charitable Giving is a Family Affair

In this episode, we talk with Ira Malis and Abigail Malischostak, father and daughter. Ira is the current chairman of the investment management committee at The Associated. And Abigail is the partnerships manager at the Jewish Volunteer Connection. In 2003, Ira and his wife, Shelly, started a donor advised fund with The Associated. They felt this would be a great and meaningful way to involve their children and grandchildren in their family's tradition of charitable giving. For those who are unfamiliar with donor advised funds, they offer you a way to support your favorite causes while also taking advantage of certain tax benefits.
