Often charitable giving conversations begin (and end!) with cash or appreciated stock. And, of course, you know that appreciated stock is an excellent option for your clients to fund a donor advised or other type of fund at Community Foundation Tampa Bay.
What began as a seemingly logical vehicle for organizing a family’s philanthropy can, over time, become administratively burdensome, especially as leadership transitions to the next generation. In many cases, transferring a private foundation’s assets to a donor advised fund at Community Foundation Tampa Bay can offer a simpler and more flexible path forward.
If you keep an eye on initial public offerings (IPOs), it’s been an exciting few weeks, especially if your clients are involved. As you work with clients who may hold stock that’s going public, or if your clients are considering investing in companies involved in IPOs, be sure to look at all angles of the client’s financial and estate plan that may be impacted—including charitable planning.
