Professional Advisors: Every year, the Giving USA study reports the status of charitable giving in America. 💡 Adjusted for inflation, 2023 saw a decrease, making it harder for San Diego charities to meet community needs. This is relevant to your clients because, for many of them, philanthropy is an important part of their financial plans and family traditions. Jason Rodgers, Director of Wealth Advisor Relations at SDF shares insights to help with your conversations about charitable giving.
