Learn about the power of complex asset donations

You're invited to hear from the experts why complex asset donations are the best, most tax-efficient sources for your client's philanthropy and how to opportunistically integrate this strategy — and leverage a donor-advised fund program — to increase the net benefit to your client's charities.

Exploring the intricacies of the asset selection and donation process, the panel will emphasize key considerations including timing, valuation, and liquidation issues. Complex assets to be addressed include:

  • Closely-held business interests (both C- and S-Corp stock)
  • Limited partnership interests
  • Real estate
  • Other hard-to-value assets
