Lunch Conversation with Albuquerque Community Foundation
Foundational benefits of charitable giving is a familiar topic in our office, especially when we're talking about estate planning. We are going a bit more in-depth wit this lunch. We are expanding our conversations by providing resources like the Albuquerque Community Foundation. Their role is to facilitate charitable giving locally, and we are looking forward to working with them more in the coming years. We want to give you options for charitable giving, and maybe you don't know what community foundations can do. Or maybe you don't know how community foundations support and measure progress toward community goals. If you want to learn more about how the community foundation helps us connect to places and people we love, please join us for lunch. It will be an open conversation about supporting communities, places and people who changed us. It will be about mechanisms for giving that are supportive to your overall estate plans.

Talking About Money: Can it be easier?
Conversations about money don't have to be so nerve-wracking. Whether you have to talk to parents, children, your employer, or potential donors for your favorite cause, getting the courage to talk about money can be tough. Even facing your own internal thoughts about money, and taking positive steps can be hard, and that's only involving you! When you have to talk to others, often sweaty palms or avoidance all together are our default setting. So let's get rid of some of that nervousness and anxiety about money conversations and make it a bit easier. We will spend this time talking tips and tools for building confidence around money conversations.
