Read transcript

Often, the legacy planning process involves laying out how donors will bequeath assets to charities after their death. This podcast will share how donors can establish a Legacy Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to secure their charitable legacy—a legacy that is not limited to only USA charitable organizations, but can support a favorite charity virtually anywhere in the world.

Legacy planning represents the continuation of donors’ values through the transfer of wealth and assets toward charitable causes. Depending on the size of the estate, these plans can be very simple or very complex, and a Legacy DAF can provide multi-generational support for a donor’s philanthropic legacy.
