Charitable Giving

Mason Investment Advisory Services, Inc. helps our clients integrate the complex principles of financial and estate planning with charitable motivation.

We begin by advising clients on how to develop a family financial philosophy - a personal financial mission statement that helps to define an individual's objectives in:

• Financial independence – resources needed to maintain the desired lifestyle;
• Family legacy - the amount of money available for family members and other heirs; and
• Social capital legacy - the remainder of the estate which will be used for society's needs either through estate taxes or charitable gifts.

Some of the charitable tools we recommend include: charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, charitable gift annuities, family foundations, donor advised funds, outright gifts, supporting organizations, community foundations, pooled income funds, and bargain sales. We work closely with our clients’ attorneys, to carefully integrate estate planning tools.

Social capital planning gives our clients the satisfaction of controlling the allocation of their resources between themselves, their heirs, and society.
