About this event
Today's donors increasingly want their giving to reflect both their values and a commitment to measurable impact. Yet many struggle to move beyond reactive, transactional giving to strategic philanthropy that addresses root causes at scale.
This session explores how advisors can guide clients toward more thoughtful giving strategies, using animal welfare as a case study of a cause area that combines massive scale, severe neglect (receiving <1% of U.S. charitable giving), and demonstrated cost-effectiveness. We'll share conversation frameworks for helping clients think critically about where their dollars can do the most good, introduce resources like charity evaluators that simplify due diligence, and discuss how to support values-aligned giving that doesn't sacrifice rigor or impact.
