Making a Difference

The College of Journalism and Communications invites you to a conversation about building a meaningful legacy through philanthropy.

Andrea Fourman and Mike Sopko from The University of Florida’s Office of Estate and Gift Planning will share current trends in charitable gift planning. You will learn about recent changes to the tax laws as well as ways to give more efficiently and effectively, including which assets are best to give to charity and ways to make gifts that provide you with annual income.

Join us on Thursday, April 22 at 12 p.m. EDT for an interactive session about gift planning.

Registration for the event has ended.

A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants the week of the event.
