Date: Wednesday, September 13, 2023
Time: 3:00pm - 4:00pm ET
Location: Webinar
Speaker: Paul M. Caspersen, CFP®, MS (Financial Planning & Taxation), AEP®, Thomas M. Griffith, ChFC®, CAP®, AEP®, and Ginger F. Mlakar, JD, CPA, AEP®

This webinar will delve into the specifics of charitable planning using retirement assets, focusing on Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), and Donor Advised Funds (DAFs).

Advisors will be educated on how to effectively manage the gift agreement process, which involves the advisors often being the delicate liaisons between their clients and the charitable organizations.

Furthermore, the webinar will address a key component of future-focused philanthropy - getting the next generation involved. By discussing the challenges faced in this area and sharing inspiring success stories, our webinar aims to equip advisors with the insights and strategies needed to guide your clients toward engaging in philanthropy.
