Season 2 Episode 48: Creating charitable giving strategies that make an impact

Everyday Wealth

’Tis the season of giving and many people will be donating to charities this year, but it can be confusing to navigate who to give to and how. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Andy Smith explore different giving vehicles, like donor-advised funds and qualified charitable deductions. They’ll discuss how a planner can help you develop a giving strategy that could not only lower your tax liabilities, but make a big difference for those in need.

Then, Jean speaks with Dr. Stephen Post, professor of family, population and preventive medicine and founding director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics at Stony Brook University, about why giving is so good for us. His bestselling books include The Hidden Gifts of Helping and Why Good Things Happen to Good People.

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
