MFA-P™ Philanthropy Designation Program
“This is the only Philanthropy professional designation out there and it is offered by Knowledge Bureau. The course did a wonderful job in introducing philanthropy for a Professional Advisor’s practice. It took the student through a good learning journey of how to incorporate Philanthropy into their financial practice and goes to more sophisticated advice by the end of the course. I plan to create more impact using strategic philanthropy with my clients and working collaboratively with other advisors who can provide other aspects of the plan beyond my expertise in investment management.”
