For Professional Advisors

Information for Attorneys and Other Professionals

The Baptist Homes Foundation provides support for a full range of charitable gift planning options and services. We subscribe to the Pittsburgh Planned Giving Council and Partnership for Philanthropic Planning model standards of practice for gift planners.

Neither the Baptist Homes Foundation nor its employees or representatives offer legal or tax advice. We strongly urge donors to consult with their attorney, financial advisor, estate planning professional, accountant, and/or other appropriate professional before making any material decisions based on information provided through this website, printed materials or other sources.

We welcome the opportunity to help advisors identify tax-wise and beneficial ways for our donors and friends to support the charitable non-profit mission of the Baptist Homes Foundation. We also make every effort to keep our donors’ advisors involved in the management of gifted assets wherever possible and regularly speak to advisors and their clients on a variety of charitable estate planning strategies, especially those that involve highly appreciated assets.

Please feel free to contact us directly for information or for assistance on a confidential basis.
