I'm Rick Peck, also known as "The Philanthropy Guy.” Let's talk about: 1) How nonprofits can most effectively showcase their mission and vision; 2) How donors and potential donors can make the greatest impact possible in the world; and 3) how professional advisors, including philanthropic advisors, can offer the most up-to-date information and services to their clients. After spending almost 20 years in the charitable giving world, I realized it's time to help more nonprofits thrive rather than just survive, while also helping those who have MONEY TO GIVE find top organizations that are deserving of their donations. So join us here for more of that giving feeling!
