How much more would you give to charity if it cost you next to nothing? That’s what Edward Schwartz set out to learn when he discovered a little-known tax structure called "flow-through shares". And, as he discovered, people are willing to give a whole lot more. Schwartz previously worked in the tax-structured investment business in the '80s, the call center business in the '90s, and in health-benefits administration in the 2000s. After he sold that latter business, he used flow-through shares to satisfy his tax obligations while getting dollars into his Donor-Advised Fund to give money away to charity. He realized the power of flow-through shares in tax savings: instead of charitable giving costing 50 cents on the dollar, donors can give to charities for nine cents on the dollar—or less. Now in the business of recapturing and preserving his clients’ wealth, Schwartz uses this strategy to help his clients take control their dollars, reduce their tax burden and cement their legacies.
