Individuals and families decide to work with a philanthropic advisor for different reasons and at different stages of their lives. Here are some common situations where donors, and bitcoiners specifically, may look to an advisor for clarity and support.
Similar to the time-consuming process of financial planning, philanthropic planning can be equally complex. Like financial advisors, philanthropic advisors assist busy individuals and families in researching and evaluating projects, nonprofits, and other giving opportunities. They can also help you decide where, how much, and for how long to give.
Many donors, especially those new to philanthropy, can quickly become overwhelmed by the number and frequency of funding requests. A philanthropic advisor can help save you time by managing relationships with beneficiaries and vetting requests for funding while maintaining donor anonymity if so desired.
Bitcoiners who mined or bought early on and have been through a few cycles are likely to find themselves today in a position of newfound wealth. With more to give than in the past, you may want to direct these funds toward specific purposes that align with your values. A philanthropic advisor can help you clarify your charitable giving priorities and motivations. Having goals and a well-defined plan will allow you to feel confident in your decisions around giving, especially when giving at significant levels.
A philanthropic advisor can help you track the impact of your giving by monitoring and evaluating the gifts and grants you make. Following up with recipients and analyzing data and reports help an advisor determine if a donor’s charitable aims are being met. This tracking can also inform discussions about potential adjustments to a giving strategy.
Philanthropic advisors use their expertise to research topics and issues a donor might consider supporting. Whether your focus is on bitcoin projects or outside of the bitcoin space, a philanthropic advisor can help you identify key opportunities and high impact organizations and projects within a particular sector or area.
