Comments from some of our clients
“Charitable Solutions is an incredible resource for us. Their audit of our planned giving program helped to raise
the visibility of our effort internally with the Board and externally with the advisor community. We recently hired
Bryan Clontz to present to a group of professional advisors on gifts of complicated assets. The presentation was
attended by some of Boston ’s most experienced advisors and was extremely well received. We have also hired
the firm to train our staff on receiving gifts of complicated assets which is helping to streamline our process. I
would recommend Charitable Solutions to any community foundation wanting to elevate their overall
development effort.”
Ruben D. Orduña,
VP for Development, The Boston Foundation
“Charitable Solutions is there for us with expert counsel and technical assistance whenever we need them. Bryan
Clontz's experience and candid (but incredibly effective) style has transformed our development efforts by
conducting an internal audit, making restructuring recommendations, and helping engage our Board in the
process. Their team also plays an instrumental role in advising and reviewing us on challenging non-cash
contributions. They are pros all the way around!”
Rob MacPherson,
VP for Development, Central Indiana Community Foundation
"We learned about the services of Charitable Solutions from a recommendation of their previous clients and we
could not have been more pleased. Their review and recommendations on our charitable gift annuity program
was excellent. We are now going to engage them on a second project."
Mike Parks
President, The Dayton Foundation (Ohio)
"Bryan helped us save a major real estate gift by offering several possible solutions. Without his advice, I doubt
the 7-figure CRT (which will eventually roll into a donor advised fund) would have occurred."
Connie Hendrix-Kral, Ed.D.
Director for Donor Relations, Northwest Arkansas Community Foundation
"Charitable Solutions analysis of our gift annuity pool gave us peace of mind and helped fine-tune our approach.
The CS method uses hard data, sound quantitative concepts, and has no preconceived notions of how a gift
annuity pool should be invested and risk managed. It is a
client centered approach."
David W. Brown, Ph.D., CFP
Director of Planned Giving, Georgia State University
