Albany, NY – Alan Chartock hosts a discussion on charitable giving with Cynthia Lowe, Director of the Ulster County Community Foundation, Andrea Reynolds, President of the Community Foundation of Dutchess County, Kristen Frederick, President of the Community Foundation of the Capital Region and Jennifer Dowley, President of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
When donating to charities, it's harder than ever to decide whom to give to, how much, when and for what purpose.
In this roundtable discussion, our panel talks about how community foundations gather, grow, and grant charitable funds to improve the quality of life in the areas they serve. They'll also discuss tax benefits of charitable giving and share some of their best/worst about working with donors.
