  Charitable Giving Through the Wise Use of

    Asset Management and Planning

FCS has partnered with The Firm Foundation(FF) to assist and advise our supporters in asset management.  FF is one of a nationwide network of Local Christian Foundations that are affiliated with The National Christian Foundation (NCF). Since 1982, this network has granted more than $2 billion to over 15,000 churches and ministries worldwide. FF offers expert counsel and innovative, flexible giving solutions to help:

• Individuals and families make a greater impact with their charitable giving, give practically any asset entrusted to them, and balance their giving with income needs

• Churches and ministries offer their supporters creative ways of giving, which can lead to significant new funding for their organization

• Professional advisors (financial planners, CPAs, attorneys, and others) present charitable giving expertise to their clients, which turns their practice into a ministry and builds stronger relationships

The National Christian Foundation, with whom FF is affiliated, is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). Please visit the FF website at www.thefirmfoundation.us or contact Jeff Dokkestul at 615.595.5337 or jdokkestul@FranklinClassical.com for more information.
