August 20, 2026 by Kayla Waller, CFP®

As the season of giving approaches, now is a good time to revisit your charitable giving strategy. Whether you’re considering a one-time gift or building philanthropy into your long-term financial plan, our checklist can help you think through the key decisions involved.

As we approach the season of giving, now is an ideal time to think about aligning your charitable intentions with your overall financial plan.

Whether you’re looking to make a lasting impact or manage tax considerations, creating a thoughtful charitable giving strategy can help you get there. 

This checklist is designed to guide you through key aspects of charitable giving, including:

  • Clarifying your philanthropic goals.
  • Understanding cash flow considerations.
  • Choosing the best assets for funding gifts.
  • Selecting charitable giving vehicles.
  • Planning for tax benefits and deductibility.

This checklist provides a structured approach to help you optimize the impact of your charitable contributions, tailored to your personal goals and resources.
