1) Its good for society, its good for your clients, its good for your business, and its good for you;

2) Youd be surprised how many of your clients are searching for a way to give back to society, to memorialize a loved one, or simply to do good;

3) Discussing philanthropy with your clients can be done unobtrusively, in a way that respects their privacy, values, and autonomy;

4) It expands the menu of services available to your clients, thereby increasing their level of satisfaction with you and your services;

5) It adds to your areas of expertise as a professional advisor;

6) It increases the potential for new referrals and thus, opens the door to many new clients;

7) It marries your chosen profession with your desire to do something good for the world;

8) It helps address important social needs and helps make your community a healthier, more vibrant place to livea real legacy for future generations;

9) It puts you in touch with a supportive network of new colleagues who are willing to share their time and expertise; and,
