“Partnering for Good: Deep Dives in Philanthropy for Professional Advisors”
Will Focus on Where, How, and Why Women Give
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties announced it is hosting its first Professional Advisor event of the season on Wednesday, Sept. 13 from 8:30-10 a.m. at the Center for Philanthropy. Professional Advisor events are an exclusive opportunity for lawyers, financial advisors, accountants and other individuals who assist with managing assets to come together and discuss the questions and conversations professional advisors can use to advise clients on reaching their philanthropic goals.
The “Partnering for Good: Deep Dives in Philanthropy for Professional Advisors” event, titled Women Give, will focus on understanding where, how, and why women donate to charitable causes and how the research and findings can help professional advisors guide their female clients. This is the first of two Partnering for Good events hosted by the Community Foundation each year. Registration is required.
“With the personal wealth of women rising, and women playing major roles in shaping the future direction of the economic, social, and political arenas, we believe the power and potential of women philanthropists is exponential,” said Danita R. DeHaney, president & CEO, Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
