Join WMPGG for a breakfast conversation at Van Andel Institute as we prepare for the year-end giving season and explore how recent changes in tax law are affecting how many donors think about charitable giving. Our expert speakers will provide insight on how you can help donors evaluate their options and make good decisions about tax-effective giving. Help donors align their own wealth planning needs and philanthropic desires with new giving strategies and opportunities.
