For many high-net-worth individuals, giving back is a core part of their legacy. At Nelson & Nelson, we help you align your philanthropic goals with strategic estate planning to maximize impact while minimizing tax exposure.

Whether you are interested in supporting specific causes, establishing a private foundation, or integrating charitable giving into a broader wealth transfer plan, we provide tailored guidance that honors both your values and financial objectives.

Purposeful Giving with Strategic Benefits

We assist clients with:

  • Structuring charitable gifts for maximum tax efficiency

  • Creating donor-advised funds and charitable trusts

  • Establishing private foundations and family giving vehicles

  • Integrating giving into multigenerational wealth planning

Our role is to help you give with intention and confidence. With a clear, customized plan, your generosity can make a lasting difference while supporting the financial well-being of your heirs.

A Personal Approach to Philanthropy

For many of our clients, charitable giving is not just a financial decision, but a reflection of personal values and legacy. We take the time to understand your motivations and help design a plan that reflects the causes and communities you care about most.

Our attorneys combine deep estate planning experience with a personal, collaborative approach to help ensure your charitable vision is carried out with meaning and lasting purpose.
