KEYSTONE COMMUNITY INSIGHTS BREAKFAST
NOVEMBER 14, 2018
Have you ever wondered…

Am I making my charitable donations in the easiest and most efficient way?
Are the new tax laws going to affect my ability to support charities I care about?
Are there other ways I can give generously to my community that can still help me live comfortably?

Over the course of the past year, many Keystone donors have been asking us these questions and we think you and other Keystone supporters may have some of the same questions about charitable giving in 2018 and beyond. Thus, we are convening a panel of giving experts from our trusted Keystone Business Partner community to offer you the opportunity to hear answers to these questions and others at an informal educational breakfast at Keystone.
Our panel will share new trends in charitable giving in light of recent changes in the tax laws and we’ll discuss how this may impact future giving. The panel will also include a Keystone donor who has changed his giving strategy as a result of these new charitable giving trends.
Community Insights Breakfast: Charitable Giving in Changing Times
