Expert Tips on Charitable Giving

00:00 /

Craig Frankel, Adam Gaslowitz, Stephen Berman, Donna Barwick, Ty Tippett

How much of the charitable planning should be tax-motivated and how much should be purpose-motivated? What is the difference between various forms of charitable giving? If you ever ask yourself these or similar questions, this episode of “Wealth Matters” – the radio show where we discuss the opportunities and challenges of preserving and managing wealth – is for you!

During this debut of “Wealth Matters”, attorneys Adam Gaslowitz and Craig Frankel interview Donna Barwick, Ty Tippett and Stephen Berman on the topic of charitable giving. The show is filled with important tips and hints of giving from both wealth management perspective and the perspective of effectively making a difference in the community.

Donna Barwick/Wilmington Trust Company

As a Senior Fiduciary Officer at Wilmington Trust Company, Donna brings to the table more than three decades of experience in trusts and estate planning. She previously served as a senior director in BNY Mellon’s Wealth Management group in Atlanta, specializing in wealth management and estate planning strategies for high-networth clients.

Donna shared that she gets to advise her clients not only how to give, but also what to give to. Donna recommends to utilize the Community Foundation in Atlanta as a great tool to find philanthropic organizations to support. Donna also started a great conversation during the show with this opinion: “If dollars don’t make a difference, donors will not stay engaged, so charities should let donors know how donations are used.

He also revealed how he got involved with the Shepherd Center Foundation and how it became his “biggest blessing.”

Special Guests:

Daphne Reiley, Co-Author of A Tapestry of Love, the Spirituality of Caregiving

Co-Authors Daphne Reiley and Joseph LaGuardia work with caregivers on a virtually day to day basis. Daphne provides spiritual support to caregivers in various settings – over the phone, in person, and in group settings. Joe is a full-time pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Conyers, GA and offers caregivers support through one-to-one spiritual direction as well as being a resource for information about support groups in the area. The authors have created a website dedicated to their recently published book A Tapestry of Love: The Spirituality of Caregiving, providing their insights into the spiritual struggles facing caregivers as well as links to resources – both written and online.

In writing A Tapestry of Love, the two authors have provided a tool for caregivers in their spiritual journeys. Caregivers often have difficulty staying connected with God as well as often feeling isolated and prone to exhaustion, loneliness, depression, anger and resentment. Within its pages, A Tapestry of Love introduces spiritual practices helpful to caregivers and others in finding spiritual resources for the endurance and strength necessary to make the journey of caregiving a fulfilling one.
