Erinn Andrews on Charitable Giving as Part of the Financial Plan Capital Club

Erinn Andrews, an expert in philanthropy and social entrepreneurship, is here to discuss her research on wealthy donors and giving trends. She shares that unrestricted gifts often come more readily when asked for and that nonprofits must create multi-year campaigns for their donors. Erinn also found that many donors act reactively to charitable requests rather than taking charge of their giving and maximizing their impact. With this in mind, she created GiveTeam, a philanthropic advising firm that partners with financial firms to help donors make informed giving decisions by understanding which causes they want to support, how much they can afford, and which organizations are best suited to help achieve their goals.
Tune into this conversation to gain insights into donor motivations and how to engage in an intentional giving process!

80 trillion will be passed on to millennials and Gen Z in the next two decades75% of millennials consider themselves philanthropists: financial firms that embrace thoughtful philanthropic advising (beyond tax considerations) for their clients can better connect with this client segment[21:54 - 30:01] How Donors Can Leverage Industry Trends for Maximum Impact
When interviewing a financial manager, Erinn suggests that clients should ask about their expertise around helping clients articulate their charitable priorities and developing a thoughtful giving strategy beyond just tax considerations Participatory philanthropy is becoming more popular, allowing those closest to the challenges to be involved in decision-making[30:02 - 30:55] Closing Segment
