Complex Philanthropic Vehicles

Most high-net-wealth families oversee–or are deciding whether to create–complex charitable vehicles such as private foundations, charitable trusts, LLCs, and donor-advised funds. We help structure and advise on these vehicles, ensuring they are fit-for-purpose and aligned with the family’s values and financial goals. We can also manage your client’s grant selection, distribution, and reporting processes.

Multi-Generational Engagement

Philanthropy is often a vehicle for passing down values and fostering unity across generations. We facilitate conversations and create tailored learning journeys that engage the next generation and preserve family legacy through shared philanthropic vision.

We help clients articulate and document their charitable vision, including through bequests, charitable beneficiary designations, and succession plans for foundations or donor-advised funds. Our approach ensures their values and intentions are clearly carried forward, offering peace of mind and a lasting impact for future generations.
