As a professional advisor, the opportunity you have to help your clients achieve their charitable goals is both a privilege and a challenge.  The Lancaster County Community Foundation stands ready to be a resource for you, as well as a philanthropic partner for your clients.  Professional advisors and the Community Foundation work together to provide donors with the information they need to make smart giving decisions – choices that have the most positive impact on the community while also providing the greatest possible financial planning and tax advantages.

The Community Foundation builds bridges between philanthropists – of any size – and nonprofit organizations.  Professional advisors are the structural engineers who bring meaningful charitable ideas to life.  We work with all types of professional advisors (attorneys, accountants, financial planners, brokers, insurance agents, and others) as they help their clients incorporate charitable giving into financial and estate planning activities.

We always respect and work within the relationships that you have developed with your clients.  We work collaboratively to help your clients connect to the causes that they care about most.  We serve as a convenient and comprehensive resource to help you as an advisor with charitable giving matters.  The Foundation offers ongoing education for advisors regarding the charitable sector, distributes periodic advisor newsletters, hosts expert speakers, and provides access to our legal resources.

We look forward to working in partnership with you to help your clients maximize their philanthropic impact.
