Charitable Giving

We'll provide a personalized strategy for success.

At Sound Investment Strategies, charitable giving is not just a tax strategy—it’s an opportunity to align your financial life with the causes and values that matter most to you.

Whether you’re looking to support your church, your community, or a charity close to your heart, we can help you give more intentionally by incorporating charitable giving into your financial plan in a way that is thoughtful, tax-efficient, and aligned with your long-term goals.

Why Charitable Giving Matters

For many families, charitable giving represents both generosity and stewardship. The right giving strategy can:

  • Reduce your tax burden
  • Increase the impact of your gifts
  • Support long-term legacy goals
  • Create a structured, intentional approach to generosity

We help ensure your giving aligns with both your values and your financial plan.

Types of Charitable Giving Strategies

Charitable giving can take many forms, including:

  • Direct gifts of cash
  • Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
  • Appreciated securities and tax-efficient gifting
  • Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs
  • Legacy and estate-focused charitable strategies

Each option offers different tax benefits, planning opportunities, and levels of flexibility.
