Topic: Strategies for Gifting in Volatile Markets

The past few years have been marked by the most difficult markets of a lifetime. Many donors remain paralyzed by uncertainty and are reluctant to give. In this discussion, Chris will provide an analytical framework for answering practical questions such as:

  • How much can a donor afford to give and still feel safe, even in poor markets?
  • For donors interested in building a legacy for family and for charity, why should they consider a CLAT today, rather than waiting until the evnironment improves?
