At the Community Foundation of Washington County MD, we work with you to assist your clients in their charitable giving. We provide resources, such as our Professional Advisor Newsletter to help you meet your clients’ needs. We recognize the important role you play in the charitable giving process and appreciate your support in helping us promote philanthropy in Washington County. Because of our work with attorneys, accountants, financial planners, insurance specialists, investment brokers, real estate agents, trust officers and other licensed professionals who advise clients on legal and financial matters, the Community Foundation created a Professional Advisors Network (PAN) to assist us in educating the public on charitable giving, tax considerations, bequests and planned gifts. PAN also meets periodically to discuss educational and networking opportunities to increase both current and planned gifts in our communities.

The Professional Advisors Network helps us educate the public about charitable giving, tax considerations, bequests and planned gifts. The following members of the Professional Advisors Network* assist the Foundation in promoting philanthropy by referring clients. We appreciate these professional advisors for their dedication to charitable giving and the Community Foundation.
