Tips, Tools and Tech for Advisors: Takeaways from the PhilanthPro Panel at DAF Summit

Nick moderated a panel at the October DAF Summit in Nashville, featuring Ella Chase of Wellth Works, Marisa Swystun of AllianceBernstein, and Janell Turner of Phīla Engaged Giving.

The following are a few of the key takeaways from the discussion: 

  • Inheritors are often even more focused on philanthropy than original wealth generators, and increasingly, they are asking advisors to help them envision spend down plans. 
  • Many of the people who have funds in DAFs report that they feel a disconnect with their financial advisors. Building knowledge about philanthropy and strengthening referral networks go a long way to address clients' philanthropic advisory needs.  
  • As more and more money is transferred to inheritors, we expect the demand for new technology to increase. Some emerging philanthropy-tech, including PhilanthPro, serve as an educational tool to nudge clients towards more intentional philanthropy.
