Donor-advised funds: Flexible, tax-friendly, and just the beginning
As attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors, you’ve no doubt noticed that financial publications’ coverage of donor-advised funds is increasing. This is no surprise, considering that these popular vehicles can help your clients achieve both their financial and philanthropic goals.
Bread and butter strategy: QCDs for clients 70½ and older
