Philanthropy
“A well-designed philanthropic strategy can teach future generations about the values and charitable interests of the founding family. It is also how the family’s legacy is known and respected in the community. We offer services to help you create and administer a legacy through charitable giving.” – J. Carter Tolleson, CEO

The Power of “WE”
On March 27, I joined colleagues, teachers, students, A-list performers and international speakers in celebrating Texas’ WE Day in Downtown Dallas, a movement launched by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger. As humanitarians, activists and social entrepreneurs, the Kielburgers founded a family of organizations dedicated to the power of “WE” – bringing people together to change the world. Specifically working with youth, their vision connects the rising generation with opportunities to empower and engage with global and social issues.
We are excited to host Craig for an upcoming private client event where he will share ways for parents and children to make caring “cool.” As Director of Philanthropy at the firm, I am inspired by this message, and as I work with client families and their foundations, I understand the desire for them to make impact in the local, national and even global community. From experiencing WE Day and through my own experiences with our philanthropy services, I’ve put together some key takeaways when it comes to create change together and having a “WE” mentality.
