We believe that not spending time exploring a family\u2019s experience with their wealth\u2014and digging deep to find motivation to help nonprofits whose missions \u201cconnect\u201d with an event or situation personally experienced\u2014can mean missed opportunities for donors to do good in areas that are important to them.<\/p>\n<p>At the Stewardship Foundation, it\u2019s clear that we are passionate about our four tenets: respect for life, marriage being between a man and a woman, religious freedom, and rights of conscience. We believe that it\u2019s our responsibility to care for the poor, the sick and the disadvantaged, and for every woman, man, and child whose life is impacted with lack of education, opportunity and freedom.<\/p>\n<p>We believe in transformational giving, the kind that comes from the heart, and that changes lives in our community and in the greater world. We are firm in our commitment to knowledge about structured giving\u2014charitable trusts, donor-advised funds, and the rest\u2014but in practice, we believe it starts with a balanced conversation between the technical tools to reach financial goals and the personal reasons for doing so.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to explore your family\u2019s experience with wealth to better charter your giving, please call us at (614) 800-7985 and please share this with someone you believe might benefit from our balanced advisory services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advisors are who people turn to for guidance about charitable giving.
