The homeless man's street smarts and care for others inspires anyone who can spare a dime to learn the methods he employed to create his legacy gift. Included are timeless philanthropic planning principles that anyone who wishes to establish a charitable foundation or endowment fund should learn and understand. Not just for individuals with private wealth, these principles will benefit gift planning professionals, estate and financial advisors, and others who assist clients and donors in establishing legacy gifts to charity.
