Give Meaningfully. Build Community. Leave a Lasting Mark.
When charitable giving matters to you, the way you give matters just as much as what you give. We work with donors across El Paso, Texas and New Mexico to structure gifts that do more, for the causes you believe in.
From local nonprofits to national organizations, we'll help you navigate the tax benefits and legal considerations, so your generosity goes further.
The Value of Planning Your Giving
Smart giving isn't just about writing checks. When you plan strategically, you can make a bigger difference for the organizations you support while also securing tax advantages, reducing your estate's taxable value, and even generating income during your lifetime. You can fund scholarships, endowments, or community programs that carry your name and values forward. You can involve your children or grandchildren in philanthropy, passing down not just wealth but purpose.
We help you figure out how to give in ways that work for both your heart and your finances.
How We Structure Charitable Gifts
There are several ways to give, and the right approach depends on your situation and goals:
1) Charitable Trusts — These let you support a cause while potentially receiving income or tax breaks. Charitable Remainder Trusts let you or your family benefit first, with the remainder going to charity. Charitable Lead Trusts work the opposite way—charity benefits now, your heirs benefit later.
2) Private Foundations — If you want hands-on involvement and control over how your money is used year after year, a private foundation might be the right fit. We handle the setup, paperwork, and ongoing compliance so you can focus on the mission.
3) Donor-Advised Funds — These are simpler to manage than a foundation but still give you flexibility. You contribute to the fund, take the tax deduction, and then recommend grants to charities over time.
4) Gifts Through Your Estate — You can also direct assets to charity through your will or trust. This lets you take care of your family first while still leaving something behind for the causes that shaped your life.
Supporting What Matters Here
You have numerous ways to invest in your local community. We can help you give back by funding scholarships at local schools and universities, supporting food banks and shelters, contributing to veteran services or border relief efforts, and sustaining churches, hospitals, and arts programs right here in El Paso and the borderland.
We know the community, and we know how to help you make an impact where it counts.
How We Work With You
Every donor is different. Some people know exactly what they want to do. Others are just starting to think about it. Either way, we listen first.
We'll talk through what matters to you, walk through the tax implications, explain your options without the jargon, and put together a plan that actually reflects your intentions. And if things change down the road, because life happens, we're here to adjust the plan with you.
Serving Donors Across the Borderland
We work with families, retirees, and business owners throughout El Paso County, Doña Ana County, Las Cruces, and the surrounding area. Whether your focus is local or regional, we understand the tax rules on both sides of the state line and how to structure gifts that work in this region.
Let's Talk About Your Vision
Generosity deserves good planning. If you're ready to give in a way that's thoughtful, tax-smart, and true to what you care about, we'd be glad to help.
