The Foundation has an alliance with Woodway Financial Advisors,
an experienced and successful trust company that administers the
Foundation’s planned giving programs. Woodway can provide
advice and information on the many vehicles available for planned
giving and the requirements to establish such a program. They can
also provide information to help individuals or their representatives
maximize charitable gifts as well as information on the investment
management of assets in trust.
Trust officers can review and discuss charitable income tax deductions
that are available, the ability to generate current income, and
the necessity to reduce estate size fro eventual estate-tax purposes.
Finally, as a trust company, they can offer information on the investment
management of assets in trust as well as provide fiduciary responsibility
associated with the various planned giving vehicles.
