Wise planning prior to exiting a business creates unique and powerful opportunities to leverage an owner's generosity . . . and legacy. By making a charitable gift of an interest in a business prior to a sale or liquidity event, owners are empowered to dramatically increase support for their favorite charitable causes, while minimizing the adverse tax implications associated with the sale or liquidity event. This session will explore how one family increased their charitable giving and reduced their tax liability by millions of dollars by simply giving an interest in their business to charity before their business was sold, instead of giving cash from the after-tax proceeds from the sale.
