26th April 2023 - Philanthropy and NFP’s
We recently presented a special webinar for accountants called “More Give, Less Tax”. Susan Chenoweth and Lynda McKie walked us through the philanthropic landscape and demystified what can often seem to be a complex topic. They also illustrated the benefits of different structures through a number of insightful stories. It really was a highly informative session.
