Today, Doug talks with Julia Reed, National Director of Charitable Consulting at DAFgiving360TM, about how advisors can strengthen client relationships through philanthropic planning. Julia explains how donor-advised funds (DAFs) offer tax-smart, flexible solutions that align financial strategies with personal values, while helping advisors deepen multi-generational ties and differentiate their practices.
She shares key moments to introduce charitable giving conversations, strategies to maximize the impact of donations, and how DAFs fit into retirement and legacy planning. Julia also highlights resources advisors can use to build confidence around philanthropy and encourages viewing charitable planning as a meaningful, relationship-driven part of wealth management.
