While interest in making charitable contributions to organizations outside of the U.S. continues to grow, many advisors are not aware that such an easy and seamless way exists for their clients to achieve their philanthropic goals while still receiving all available tax benefits. This one-hour discussion will address a myriad of topics pertinent to any advisor seeking to support clients interested in making charitable donations to international organizations.

Some of the information to be addressed includes:

·  Ways to support international causes

·  How IRS & other governmental laws can affect grantmaking 

·  Best ways to mitigate risk when supporting international organizations

·  Organizational vetting options—which is right for your client?

·  Recent laws affecting international giving

·  Industry trends and observations

Perhaps most important, it will provide you with the opportunity to ask specific questions on issues most critical to the needs of your clients.

This webinar offers one hour CE credit for the CFP^® and CAP™ designations.  Approval from IMCA for the CIMA^®/CIMC^®/CPWA^® designations pending.
