03/21/2016 – Speaker Series – The Art & Science of Successful Giving
Do you have a client who is changing the way they approach their charitable giving?
Perhaps you have a new client who has innovative ideas for their philanthropy?
The philanthropic landscape is ever-changing and individuals and families continue to struggle with how to maximize the impact of their giving. Please join our OCAiP Speakers Series on Monday, March 21, for a conversation with Nick Tedesco, Senior Philanthropic Advisor with J.P. Morgan Private Bank, to discuss the latest giving trends and explore how high net worth individuals are building an effective giving strategy.
Prior to joining J.P. Morgan, Nick Tedesco served as a Relationship Manager and Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he worked closely with the Giving Pledge – an effort led by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett to encourage the world’s wealthiest individuals and families to commit the majority of their wealth to philanthropy. Nick offers a unique perspective on “The Art & Science of Successful Giving” and identifies the innovative models new tech donors are bringing to their philanthropy—both the goals and the mechanics of giving. Join us for an interactive conversation and dialogue around the evolving role of philanthropy in our society.
OCAiP is focused on advisors who want to become proficient in working with clients who are philanthropically inclined. Members, clients and guests are welcome.
