The Guide to Giving

The Guide to Giving provides answers to questions that arise in conversations with thoughtful, creative givers like you. The Guide explores topics including:

• Is charitable giving important to me?

• Do I want to give many small gifts or fewer large gifts?

• How long do I want the impact of my gifts to last?

• Which types of gifts are best for me: cash, stock, insurance policies, in-kind, etc.?

• Should I consider a bequest in my will?

• Is my legacy something I care about?
