Senior Director of Legacy Giving

Legacy giving is deeply personal. Our philanthropic advisors take the time to understand your values, explore the causes that matter most to you, and create a giving plan that reflects your vision.
Our team brings firsthand knowledge of local needs and nonprofit organizations, helping you identify meaningful opportunities to make a lasting impact in Dallas and beyond.
Your priorities may change over time, and your legacy plan can change with them. You can update your intentions directly with our team and choose whether your gift is recognized publicly or remains anonymous.
We help families define shared values, engage future generations, and create a clear plan for carrying their philanthropic legacy forward. Legacy donors are also welcomed into a community of like-minded individuals through special events, educational opportunities, and ongoing connection.
