Greetings {FIRST_NAME},
By: Robert Gordon, MBA, CFP®, AIFA® Americans are a generous lot. Official figures for charitable contributions to 501(c)(3) organizations tally just above $300 billion annually. To put that in perspective, if these contributions were instead paid to a country which had no other revenue source, it would be the 39th largest nation in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) terms.1 Individual and family contributions account for more than three quarters of that giving2. You may be one of those individuals. Thanks to creativity and initiative in the non-profit marketplace, donors have a wider than ever variety of options for creating a legacy.

Structured Notes: Buyer Beware!
By: Jason Whitby, CFP®, CFA®, MBA, AIF® Forget investing; Wall Street is a marketing and sales machine, and this time it has developed a real stinker of a product that at first glimpse appears to be the answer to your prayers, but really is just one more way Wall Street is going to separate you from your money. The product is the structured note and it advertises its ability to benefit from good stock market performance while simultaneously providing protection against the bad market performance. The cost for this protection is covered by modifying the benefit. It sounds good, but unfortunately, the cost of the protection usually outweighs and undermines any benefit.* This article was published in Investopedia
There are a number of reasons to give money away. I'm sure you've thought about them all, but have you thought about all the different ways to do it? Many of those ways are more advantageous than simply giving cash or a check directly to a charity or even creating a private foundation. One such valuable tool in the realm of charitable giving is the Donor Advised Fund. A Donor Advised Fund is a vehicle administered by a qualified public charity and created to manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals.
