Episode 1 (The Beginning)

A podcast dedicated to learning about philanthropy at Furman University.

Furman Philanthropy Podcast

Philanthropy often remains an overlooked aspect in wealth planning, which traditionally focuses on wealth accumulation rather than distribution. But, high-net-worth individuals and families increasingly recognize that their financial legacy extends beyond the accumulation of assets. This growing interest in philanthropy demands a more integrated approach to planning, where giving is strategically aligned with overall financial goals. Platforms like PhilanthPro are bridging the gap by offering professional planning tools specifically designed for philanthropic giving. 

In this episode, Shannon Rosic, director of WealthStack Content and Solutions, speaks with Nicholas Palahnuk, Founder and CEO of PhilanthPro, about the importance of philanthropy in wealth planning.

Shannon and Nicholas also discuss:

- The key drivers behind philanthropic contributions and why tax benefits are not the primary motivator
- How PhilanthPro aids in managing the complexities of tax, legal, and regulatory obligations in charitable giving
- How the Great Wealth Transfer and shifting demographics are transforming Philanthropy 
- How this tech is different from grant management software that’s currently available
