What We Do

Charitable Planning

Your philanthropic contributions reflect your passions, your values, and your commitment to making a difference. With Walled Lake’s charitable planning team on your side, you can maximize the value of your donation and make sure every dollar possible goes toward a worthy cause. We’ll help you create a giving strategy that reduces tax impacts for you and the organizations you support while aligning your charitable plan with your broader financial goals.

If you find yourself asking:

  • What is the most tax-advantageous way to give to causes you care about?
  • Should you gift appreciated stock with a Donor Advised Fund, open a Foundation, or use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)?
  • Have you considered including charitable causes in your estate plan?

Together, we can find the answers.
