Looking to make your charitable giving more effective while optimizing your overall financial strategy? Charitable giving can be a powerful component of a long-term financial plan, but the specific strategy you choose can have significant tax and investment implications.

In this video, you’ll learn: • How charitable giving strategies can be coordinated with investment, tax, and estate planning • What a donor-advised fund (DAF) is and how it may help support charitable giving over time • How donor-advised funds can help families bunch charitable deductions into higher-income tax years • Why donating appreciated stock or securities may offer potential tax advantages compared to cash donations • How gifting appreciated assets could help investors avoid realizing certain capital gains taxes • How charitable contributions may potentially support portfolio rebalancing and diversification goals • What a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is and who may be eligible to utilize one • How QCDs can interact with required minimum distributions (RMDs) from eligible IRAs • Why the most appropriate charitable giving approach depends on an individual’s unique financial circumstances • How families can incorporate children and future generations into philanthropic decision-making • Why coordinating tax-smart charitable strategies with qualified financial professionals can be essential Effective charitable planning is about more than simply deciding how much to give.
