Robert and Naomi's Story:
Recently, Robert and Naomi Shapero wanted to give back to the community, but they wanted to do something more permanent than making annual donations to various charities.
"We were looking for a way to support our favourite charities more strategically and also wanted to find a way to introduce our children to philanthropy and instill the importance of giving back," says Robert.
By establishing the Robert and Naomi Shapero Family Donor Advised Fund, the family can make decisions together about what charities they would like to support without the associated costs and cumbersome administrative requirements of a private family foundation.
While Robert and Naomi's four children are still quite young, they hope to include them in future granting decisions.
Robert sees additional value in the permanence of a donor advised fund: "It is fulfilling to know that our children and grandchildren will be able to carry on this legacy of giving long after we are gone."
