Jamie Lanier has been appointed to Seattle Foundation’s Professional Advisors Council. Lanier will be joining other professional advisors such as attorneys, accountants and wealth advisors to provide expert counsel to their clients for lifetime and legacy giving in a similar way that Seattle Foundation’s philanthropic advisors guide their philanthropists’ strategic grantmaking and family philanthropy. Through their partnership, Seattle Foundation will help professional advisors identify the best solutions for clients, from establishing a Family Foundation or Community Philanthropy Fund, to providing strategic counsel or back office support to private foundations, to integrating philanthropy into an estate plan.
The Professional Advisors Council (PAC) is a group of professional advisors who have committed themselves to advising Seattle Foundation’s philanthropic services staff and serving as ambassadors on behalf of the Foundation. The PAC meets regularly throughout the year to exchange charitable giving ideas, share new issues in philanthropy, and establish relationships with other advisors.
