Sean Stannard Stockton, author of the Tactical Philanthropy blog and founder of Ensemble Capital Management, was recently highlighted in an article in Wealth Manager Magazine on the growth of philanthropic advising services as part of wealth management services.  For the complete blog post click here.

I read Sean's blog on a fairly frequent basis and have sited him several times in my own posts.  What is exciting about this posting for me, is that it legitimizes the work that Dexterity Consulting is doing in networking with financial investment firms across Canada.

Philanthropic advising services as laid out by Ensemble or Dexterity Consulting are no longer seen as a value add, rather they are seen as a must have service.  While we are still on the leading edge of these services, as an end user, you should be demanding this support from your wealth managers, if for nothing else, so that you know the impact that your donation will have on the issues that you aim to address.
