As the Warren Buffett gift to the Gates Foundation evidences, the transfer of wealth is in progress, and assets are building in the upper and middle classes as never before. Families and individuals increasingly are facing the question of how to best make a difference with their money and time. Yet in the area of planned and legacy giving, the field is layered with advisors but few resources that donors can trust. This new edition of Inspired Philanthropy shows readers how to make a difference in a way that aligns their values, passions, and dreams with their giving and legacy plans. It not only makes the case for how to make a difference and how to create a giving and legacy plan, but also how to help donors partner with advisors for inspired outcomes.
