President, NCF Southwest
I’m excited to invite you to PLAN to GIVE 2025, proudly hosted by the National Christian Foundation Southwest and presented by Smead Capital Management. This conference is specifically designed for financial, tax, and legal advisors in the Southwest. I believe you’ll find it engaging and valuable, and I encourage you to register early as the event sold out last year!
At the PLAN to GIVE 2025 conference, we’re dedicated to equipping and inspiring as you guide your clients in strategic and generous giving. Throughout the day, you’ll gain invaluable insights into the current economic, financial, and investment landscape. Additionally, we’ll explore non-cash charitable giving as well as innovative estate planning strategies to empower your clients to leave a lasting charitable legacy.
In addition to our three morning sessions, we are pleased to present a practical lunchtime panel featuring a generous client, her financial advisor, and her philanthropic advisor. The “Giving on Purpose” session is designed to provide valuable insights into intentional generosity, equipping you with tools to effectively share this message with your clients.
Our intention is to help you stay at the forefront of industry trends and best practices, ensuring you can effectively address your clients’ evolving needs. Whether you’re seeking technical expertise, networking opportunities, or aiming to elevate your professional skills, the PLAN to GIVE 2025 conference is designed to meet your specific requirements.
