Giving to charity is one of the best things that we can do at every stage of life, but in retirement, it takes on a whole new meaning. We can give back to our communities, to our families, and to organizations we care about. However, we have to be strategic about our giving, make sure that our money is going where people say it’s going, and reap the potential benefits along the way.

Here to help navigate the world of charitable giving is Gary Pratt, the Senior Director of Development for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas. In 2019, Catholic Charities served about half a million people in need through over 20 programs across 21 counties, helping empower them to get jobs, learn new skills, receive food and housing, and even hospice care.

Gary also specializes in helping people confidently gift stock, real estate, retirement accounts, plan gifts, and legacy estate gifts. Today, he joins the podcast to talk about his organization, the tax benefits behind giving, and the personal reasons to give.
