Talking to your clients about philanthropy can be an important conversation for professional advisors. Manatee Community Foundation acts as a philanthropic partner to enhance your client’s knowledge about charitable giving vehicles, legacy planning, effective nonprofits, and smart giving.

We work together with professional advisors, partnering with you so that you stay in control of your client relationships, providing support, information, and expertise on charitable giving. Your clients will appreciate the charitable impact and tax advantages you help them achieve.

Our team is available to meet in a socially distant setting to share more about the ways we partner with advisors to support the philanthropic goals of your clients, or we can arrange a Zoom session. Contact us at MCFInfo@ManateeCF.org.
