We can handle a variety of assets. Assets including appreciated securities, closely held stock, real estate and cash.

We make it easy to bring up the subject of philanthropy. We can speak to your board of directors to help them feel comfortable asking donors to contribute to their endowment building plan.

We make sure each gift is properly and promptly acknowledged. You are copied with all outgoing correspondence.
