Charla Burchett, a partner in Shutts & Bowen LLP’s Sarasota office, was recently a featured speaker during the Annual Meeting for the Charitable Gift Planners of Southwest Florida on October 19, 2023.

Speaking during the featured session were legal, insurance and non-profit professionals, including Charla, Taylor Collins (President of Professional Benefits Inc.) and Tom Waters (President and CEO of Easterseals Southwest Florida). The interactive discussion between the panelists and attendees served to show how working together as a team can yield positive results in the non-profit world. Charitable gifts which use life insurance as a wealth replacement vehicle and gifts utilizing charitable remainder or charitable lead trusts can create significant impacts for a non-profit, and working with your insurance and estate planning colleagues can really open up a world of giving opportunities that are often overlooked. These conversations within the gifting team can turn a small gift into a life changing opportunity and build a legacy for both the donor and non-profit.
