Planning Your Philanthropy

Your philanthropy may be one of the greatest legacies of your life. You can make the most of it with a little planning. You might start by reviewing our Donor’s Bill of Rights, and then see what others are doing in our Faces of Philanthropy section. The Glossary and Charts, Terms & Concepts provide information and definitions, and you can request our Workbooks on different planning topics. You can even create your own simple gift-with-income financial projection with our Gift Calculator. And of course, you can Contact Us for help anytime.
