Here are a few highlights from Jared's conversation with Jeanne McMains:

• A donor-advised fund allows donors to grow contributions typically tax-free and give grants to their favorite charities at their convenience. Jeanne calls it a give-grow-grant.
• When making estate plans, Jeanne urges families to keep in mind that inheritance is the soil from which their next generation can grow.
• Jared says that those new to generosity often begin by gifting cash, but doing so can be limiting. Give the apple tree instead of the apple; this will be more beneficial in the long run.
• Market disruptions are fantastic opportunities to capitalize on advantages that aren’t usually present.
