Personal consulting to enable planned gifts to best accomplish charitable goals.  
 
I started working with not-for-profit groups and donors in the late-1970s, as a stockbroker/financial planner living in San Francisco, CA, with planning how best to use Life Insurance and/or Securities as Planned Gifts; including the use of various charitable trusts and charitable gift annuities. When I moved to Omaha, NE in the early 1990's I worked with a gentleman from BoysTown to create the Omaha Planned Giving Council. Our members were attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors who wanted to learn more about Planned Gifts as a part of their client's estate plan.  In the early 2000's I was part of the Professional Advisory Council of the Nebraska Methodist Hospital Foundation. I also became their Director of Development for Planned Gifts in the early 2000's. Since my retirement from various business consulting endeavors at the end of 2012, I have been pondering how best to stay active with a passion of helping raise money for various worthwhile not-for-profit organizations. I have decided to use my experience in the world of charitable planned gifts to work with donors as they strive to decide/arrange planned gifts to accomplish their various missions and estate planning/legacy goals.
 
Donor specific planned gifts will be devleoped and monitored on an on-going basis.  A per hour consulting fee will be employed.  Please call or email with any questions.
