Effective Philanthropy for Advisors

Brought to you by Advisors in Philanthropy and Stanford’s Effective Philanthropy Learning Initiative

Join us for an interactive workshop with Stanford University on their latest tools designed specifically for advisors and clients interested in inspired, strategic philanthropy.

This two-part live webinar is a unique collaboration between Stanford University’s Effective Philanthropy Learning Initiative (EPLI) and International Association of Advisors In Philanthropy (AiP) that will:

• Show you how to leverage Stanford’s effective philanthropy method and use the new Stanford Philanthropy Toolkit to build stronger relationships with your clients and their families

• Feature highlights from Stanford’s latest research on high-capacity donor behavior and decision-making 

• Allow you to learn by doing, giving you a chance to develop your own Effective Philanthropy Plan

• And earn CFP CE credits while you’re at it!

You already know the value of philanthropic planning when it comes to helping your clients live a meaningful life and shape their legacy. As a trusted advisor, you can make a huge difference for your clients, their families, and for deserving communities, organizations, and causes close to home and around the world. The Effective Philanthropy team at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy & Civil Society has spoken with hundreds of advisors and their clients, identifying challenges, expectations, and opportunities for better philanthropic engagement. This 2-part workshop will introduce you to the core principles of effective philanthropy and demonstrate how it can be used within a clear, practical planning framework with your clients. 

Topics include: engaging others, involving family members in a philanthropic giving conversation, finding and vetting organizations, and making and tracking gifts. You will also have ample time for Q&A to address the challenges and opportunities you face in your work.

In addition:

• Upon successful completion of both sessions, you will be able to apply for CE Credit and you’ll receive a Statement of Accomplishment from Stanford’s Effective Philanthropy Learning Initiative.

• You will get a 50% discount on the Toolkit.

• You will be introduced to a growing network of professional resources.

• Your participation will support the education programs at AIP and continued research at Stanford University’s lab dedicated entirely to supporting philanthropic best practices among high-capacity donors, their families, and their ecosystem of advisors.

• As a thank you for your feedback on this inaugural program, we are offering a $200 discount on the $500 course. Your tuition for this pilot workshop is only $300. 

Workshop Structure:

  Once you register we will send you instructions for a 15-20 minute exercise on “Finding Your Focus” and crafting your focus statement. Important: Bring this to the first session so we can get to know each other and hit the ground running! 

• Session 1: Thursday, January 28, 2021 and Session 2: Friday, January 29, 2021
  These live and interactive sessions will cover various modules within the Toolkit.
