Women and Charitable Giving

ABSTRACT

During the past two years, people have witnessed the devastating impact of COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and natural disasters like wildfires and Hurricane Ian. Armstrong thinks these events have made them all more aware of the needs of those who are adversely affected by events beyond their control. Rather than being passive observers, she thinks they as planners should be more proactive by bringing up the topic of charitable planning with their clients and showing them different ways they can help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Finally, as a board member of the Foundation for Financial Planning, she would be remiss if she didn't mention their Foundation. This organization's mission is to help the underserved gain control of their financial lives with the assistance of pro bono financial planners.
