They struggle with structure. The desire is often already there. People care deeply. They want to help. They want their giving to matter. They care about family, community, causes they’ve supported for years, or institutions that have shaped their lives. The generosity is real. What slows things down usually is not motivation. It’s what comes next. People begin asking questions...]]></description><link>https://www.hagelphilanthropy.com/post/how-planned-giving-provides-structure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a15b6d1ce062e4a09f0dab1</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 15:32:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/716bc5_319e3fe3da074667b21b03f95b6d9b58~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frank Hagel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three Charitable Giving Signals Financial Advisors Should Watch For]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most wealth planning conversations follow a familiar structure. Retirement. Tax efficiency. Estate transfer. Children and grandchildren. For many clients, that framework works well. But financial advisors are increasingly encountering clients whose situations no longer fit the traditional inheritance model. Some clients accumulate significant wealth and eventually realize there may not be a clear personal destination for it. No children. Limited family relationships. Or simply less interest...]]></description><link>https://www.hagelphilanthropy.com/post/three-charitable-giving-signals-financial-advisors-should-watch-for</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0c82d4807a7effecd47083</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 16:36:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/716bc5_44ad0b740e244ccaa68f3877bca75103~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frank Hagel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonprofit Fundraisers...Don't Try to Do It Alone.

That’s part of it. But it’s not really the work. A good philanthropy advisor is not primarily focused on giving money away. They’re focused on helping people make thoughtful decisions where values, finances, family, and purpose intersect. And that conversation is often much broader than charity. It Usually Starts With Questions, Not Solutions Most people do not wake up one...]]></description><link>https://www.hagelphilanthropy.com/post/a-philanthropy-advisor-doesn-t-do-what-most-people-think</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a035e46f6126ac2c9cebdd9</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2026 17:23:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/716bc5_dd13e5c1d10e439d829735afd22e3c1f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frank Hagel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Financial Advisors Can Benefit from Partnering with Philanthropy Advisors]]></title><description><![CDATA[Financial advisors do a great job helping clients manage wealth, balancing returns, taxes, and long-term security.  But over time, many clients start asking different kinds of questions.  Not just “How am I doing financially?”  But “What is this really for?”  “How can I make a difference?”  “What do I want to leave behind?” Those are good questions. And they open the door to a different kind of conversation. That’s where a philanthropy advisor can be helpful.  A Natural Extension of the Work...]]></description><link>https://www.hagelphilanthropy.com/post/how-financial-advisors-benefit-from-partnering-with-philanthropy-advisors</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ffa5854f7ebdc9f6adf923</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 21:29:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/716bc5_816c97ae3109430a8197ecab411fb260~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_667,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frank Hagel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rethinking Estate Planning for a Legacy Without Heirs]]></title><description><![CDATA[Estate planning often assumes there will be heirs to inherit assets. This assumption shapes how people think about their wealth and how it will be passed on. But what happens when there are no clear heirs, or when the connections to family are weak or uncertain? This situation is becoming more common, yet most planning frameworks do not address it well. Instead, they default to simple solutions that may not reflect the true intentions or values of the individual.
