While reading an article on philanthropic giving, I came across an intriguing question that I believe prompts deep reflection: "What shapes your philanthropy? (Is it personal values? Family consensus? Shaped by current events?)" I find this question particularly thought-provoking as it delves into the multifaceted motivations behind our philanthropic endeavors. Personally, I believe that philanthropy is deeply rooted in our personal values, shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and aspirations. Additionally, family consensus and discussions often play a significant role, allowing us to align our charitable efforts with shared values and goals. Moreover, the ever-evolving landscape of current events undoubtedly influences our philanthropic decisions, prompting us to respond to pressing needs and emerging challenges in our communities and beyond. I would be grateful to hear your insights on this matter. What factors do you believe shape your philanthropy? Engaging in such discussions enriches our understanding and empowers us to make a meaningful difference in the world.

When mapping out your philanthropic journey, there are three initial questions you should ask yourself: 1. Where do I want to be a year from now, and in the future? 2. Where am I today? 3. And what are the steps I need to take to get me from A to B? Step 1 should be discussing your options with a philanthropy advisor and getting a sense of the giving landscape. Whether you just want to dip your toe in the philanthropy water or whether you’re ready to commit to a lifelong giving plan, we at LGT Philanthropy Advisory make the process a little less overwhelming. #PhilanthropyAdvisory
