Creating Wealth Impact. Together.
Since 2012, the Tamar Fink Charitable Adviser Network (CAN) has been a forum for our philanthropic community to network and share in their successes while learning from the experiences and advice of our most successful business and philanthropic leaders.
Our Speaker Series Exists For The Purpose Of:
Networking
The CAN is a great opportunity to meet and build relationships with others in our nonprofit and business community. Our CAN forum always creates a high-energy environment, providing nonprofit “partners” more relationships and more opportunities to be successful.
Celebrating Success Stories
Success stories from others in the nonprofit community help to give insights into what is working for them in their development efforts.
Exposure To Icons In Our Charitable And Corporate Community
Presentations from icons in our charitable and business community spark ideas for campaigns and different approaches to charitable planning strategies.
