There is an emerging investment trend increasingly important to investors of all ages: strategic philanthropy. But few advisors deliver what clients want: how to integrate personal values with tax and financial plans. Now you can address this need by earning your MFA-P™ Designation.

The three online courses in the program focus on teaching advisors to develop plans with individuals and families looking to support their favourite charities in a strategic fashion, using a practical approach featuring real-life case studies and cutting edge calculators and a
comprehensive online research library to stay up-to-date with tax changes.

The MFA-P™ is designed to help advisors incorporate strategic charitable giving into their client conversations. There are many reasons to discuss philanthropy with your clients:

• Charitable giving is an important part of holistic financial planning, including estate planning.

• It is an opportunity to get to know your clients on a deeper level by understanding their values and an easy way to reach out to your clients’ extended families including their children and grandchildren.

• You can help to structure charitable gifts in a simple but effective way and help your clients realize their philanthropic goals while maintaining the integrity of their investment, estate, and tax planning strategies.

• Advisors who connect family values and history as part of a long-term wealth management approach will be well-equipped to address increasing concerns clients have to make a difference in today’s world of heightened social awareness.

• All professional advisors interviewed in a 2014 Canadian survey entitled The Philanthropic Conversation agreed that having incorporated philanthropy into their practice has strengthened and solidified their business. It is not only the right thing to do; it is unequivocally good for your clients and your practice.
