Year-end often brings renewed focus on life events, market activity, tax exposure, and the impact they hope to make before December 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Financial advisors play a critical role<\/strong> in helping donors translate those intentions into a disciplined, tax-efficient year-end giving strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For clients already using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/donor-advised-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">donor-advised funds<\/a>, these conversations tend to be more streamlined. DAFs are flexible and efficient charitable vehicles that uncomplicate the grantmaking process, and some DAF sponsors can even work with you and your clients to develop highly impactful and personalized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-consulting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">philanthropic strategies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you help clients navigate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/giving-season-central\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giving Season<\/a>, consider the following six planning priorities to ensure their charitable goals and tax strategies are fully aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Review Philanthropic Goals with Clients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the conversation rolling by clarifying your clients\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">philanthropic goals<\/a>, both this year and in the longer term. A focused review will help them identify the causes, nonprofits, or issue areas they intend to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encourage clients to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Revisit their values, priorities, and personal mission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflect on major events this year\u2014life transitions, market shifts, or global events that shaped their perspective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engage spouses, children, or other family members, particularly if multigenerational giving or legacy planning is important to your client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Evaluate Appreciated Assets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the market posting solid gains across much of 2025, many clients may now hold positions that have appreciated significantly over the year. This is an opportune moment for advisors to review portfolios for low-basis, long-term assets that could be strong candidates for charitable giving. Donating appreciated assets through a DAF can help clients reduce capital gains exposure while maximizing their philanthropic impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key actions for advisors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prioritize positions with the largest unrealized gains, especially those that no longer fit the client\u2019s long-term allocation or risk profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider strategic tax benefits, such as using appreciated assets to offset gains realized elsewhere in the portfolio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educate clients on why giving appreciated assets is often more efficient than giving cash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Confirm Contribution Deadlines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timing is critical\u2014especially in December. Different asset types have different processing deadlines, and delays can jeopardize a client\u2019s ability to claim a deduction for the 2025 tax year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advisors should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Map out cut-off dates for contributions of securities, ETFs, wires, checks, and digital assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate deadlines early to avoid bottlenecks and client frustration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For full details, consult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-resources\/philanthropist\/donor-deadlines-for-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NPT\u2019s Donor Deadlines for 2025<\/a>, which outlines deadlines by asset class and contribution method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Maximize Tax Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With major tax code changes taking effect January 1, 2026, <strong>now is the time<\/strong> to help clients implement giving strategies that maximize both charitable impact and tax efficiency under the current rules. Beginning in 2026, individuals who itemize deductions will no longer be able to deduct charitable gifts unless their total donations exceed 0.5% of adjusted gross income. Also in 2026, for taxpayers in the top 37% bracket, the tax benefit of itemized charitable deductions will effectively be limited to 35% per dollar donated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given these changes, advisors should encourage clients to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accelerate larger charitable contributions in 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider bunching and front-loading strategies\u2014i.e. combining several years of planned giving into a single 2025 contribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coordinate charitable contributions with other income events or tax considerations such as RMDs or liquidity events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Plan for Grantmaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year-end grantmaking is the fundraising backbone for nearly every nonprofit. So while generosity may serve your clients\u2019 tax purposes and their own personal philanthropic goals at any time, giving during this time of year in particular also greatly benefits the nonprofit sector. Remind your clients that gifts received during the month of December alone are <a href=\"https:\/\/betterworld.org\/blog\/nonprofits\/why-year-end-giving-important\/#:~:text=End%2Dof%2Dyear%20donations%20help,mission%20into%20the%20new%20year.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">essential for many nonprofits <\/a>to achieve their annual fundraising goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important reminders for clients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>December giving helps nonprofits meet annual fundraising goals and sustain mission-critical services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If clients intend to contribute before year-end but prefer to recommend grants next year, a DAF allows them to separate the deduction event from the granting decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Year-end is also an excellent time to reassess grant portfolios, deepen commitments, or explore new organizations aligned with their goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For guidance on how DAFs can be used to execute different philanthropic strategies, share NPT\u2019s educational resource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/can-i-use-my-daf-for-that\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Can I Use My DAF for That?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Set the Stage for a Successful 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year-end conversations open the door to long-term charitable planning and broader wealth planning discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategic topics to explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multi-year giving strategies and planned grant schedules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging family members in philanthropy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aligning charitable planning with legacy and estate plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanding or establishing DAF accounts to support long-term giving goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more guidance on integrating philanthropy into comprehensive planning, browse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/daf-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NPT\u2019s DAF Insights series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guiding your clients through their year-end giving isn\u2019t just an exercise in tax planning. It\u2019s a relationship-building opportunity that underscores your holistic advisory value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/giving-season-central\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giving Season<\/a>, you have the opportunity to support your clients\u2019 philanthropic goals and help them achieve a positive and meaningful impact.
