We work alongside professional advisors to provide tailored, charitable, tax-smart solutions that benefit your clients, their families, and the community causes they care about. Here are a few different ways we can partner together:
Customized Giving Solutions:

Legacy & Philanthropy:
If desired, we can help clients establish a lasting tradition of generosity by engaging their families in meaningful conversations and giving strategies. Our Legacy Circle members, recognizing individuals who leave a gift in their will or estate plan through the Community Foundation, also receive invitations to special events that allow them to engage and build connections with other like-minded individuals.
Long-Term Regional Impact:
Your clients’ gifts will support causes and initiatives that enhance overall community well-being by preserving arts and the environment or expanding access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

As proud co-founders of Leave 10 South Sound, we inspire donors, nonprofits, and professional advisors to encourage charitable giving through wills and estate plans. Imagine the lasting impact if more people dedicated just 10% of their estate to charity—transforming communities for generations to come.
