You'll learn how to:

  • Explain donor-advised funds clearly in client conversations
  • Identify charitable giving strategies that may support client goals
  • Discuss tax-efficient giving opportunities, including donations of securities
  • Compare donor-advised funds with private foundations
  • Bring charitable giving into broader financial planning conversations

Why this matters

Charitable giving is part of how clients think about their financial decisions, but many clients do not have a clear way to compare options or approach giving strategically.

This course gives advisors a practical introduction to donor-advised funds, including how they work, the strategies they enable, and how they can support more intentional, tax-efficient charitable giving.

Advisors who complete this course will be able to bring charitable giving into client planning conversations with more clarity, confidence, and practical context.
