Professional Advisor Newsletter

May 2026

Dear Partners in Philanthropy:

A recent survey by the Council on Foundations found that a majority of top community foundations noted engaging with professional advisors is crucial for fostering relationships that lead to significant, long-term philanthropic contributions and community asset development.

The Chester County Community Foundation continues to build trusted relationships with regional professional advisors by:

• Honoring Door Openers, advisors who act as outstanding advocates for philanthropy as a Community Foundation Door Opener – see the complete list of professional advisors honored as Door Openers.
• Requesting Expertise from Advisors who serve as members of Community Foundation Committees, Task Forces, Outreach Advisors and Grant Panels.
• Providingcontent for tax and legal charitable articles for our website and social media.
• Collaborating on presentations and webinars to showcase expertise.
• Inviting Community Foundation philanthropy planning officers to joint meetings with clients to discuss charitable options.

We gratefully acknowledge the professional advisors in our region who work to encourage philanthropy by partnering with our Community Foundation. Click here for the list of advisors and firms making a difference each and every day.

Yours in Philanthropy,
Chester County Community Foundation
