Complimentary Workshop* 10:30 - 11:30am
“Charitable Impact and Tax Savings with Gifts of Assets”
Presenter: Greg Ring, The Giving Crowd
This session will help you understand and implement pretax gifts using assets rather than writing a check. It will uncover opportunities for milestone gifts for those who did not even know they had the capacity.
Complimentary Donor Panel* 1:30-2:30pm
“The Joy of Giving”
Panelists: Susan Farber, Tom Rauen, Mark Wahlert, and Dr. Liang Chee Wee
Hear from local philanthropists on what drives them to give back to our community and the impact giving has on nonprofits.
Thank you to our 2021 event sponsors.
