ADVISORS

WBCF partners with lawyers, financial planners, accountants, and others to share our collective knowledge, tools, and connections to assist clients and build a better community.

Endowment funds are the best way for your clients to build their lasting legacy. There are also excellent tax benefits that come with making gifts a part of your client’s estate and financial plans.

Clients don’t need to gift millions of dollars to create a fund. An endowment fund can be established with as little as $10,000. Each year, we grant a portion of the fund (currently 4%) to support the charitable projects, organizations, and causes your client has identified. This means that the fund will continue to grow and give in perpetuity. 


Professional advisors partner with Us for many reasons:

  • The gifting process is easy and straightforward for your client. We have a gifting process that is concise, transparent, and able to meet your client’s needs and wishes. There has never been an easier way for people to start building their lasting legacy.
