Tax Planners
You know your clients. We know philanthropy.
For more than 45 years, we have partnered with a large network of wealth advisors, estate planning attorneys, tax planners and other advisors to help high-net-worth clients and families achieve financial planning objectives and charitable giving goals, while maximizing tax deductions.
From establishing donor-advised funds to building your clients’ legacies and providing them with grantmaking guidance on community needs, we act as your team’s charitable partner, supporting your clients through the giving process as you retain complete control of your relationships.
Give to Donor-Advised Funds
We are committed to inspiring and enabling philanthropy in our region. We support several other nonprofit organizations with dedicated missions that align with our vision for just, equitable and resilient communities.
Your Client’s Legacy
Gifting through an estate allows your client to create a lasting legacy in San Diego.
With a planned gift, your client communicates exactly how funds will be granted and receives peace of mind knowing that their future contributions will go directly back to the community and causes they care about.
