To our family, friends, and the citizens of Western North Carolina, our hearts are with all those affected by the devastating storm and subsequent flooding. We are deeply grateful to the volunteers, utility workers, and first responders who continue to risk their lives to assist others. Their bravery is the first step on the long road to recovery and rebuilding. We are collaborating with local resources and organizations to provide immediate assistance, particularly to those in remote areas where help is difficult to reach. If you are looking for ways to contribute, please consider supporting two organizations that have been close to our family for many years: WNC Communities (www.wnccommunities.org), which supports rural communities and their families, and the Community Foundation of WNC (www.cfwnc.org).

How do we work together to make the world a better place? We treat others how we would like to be treated and we develop a mindset of giving. Kindness and philanthropy are the keys to making a difference. When developing your charitable plan, identify those causes and beliefs that resonate with your family. Define your goals and involve your family in the decision-making process. Their buy-in is essential to the success of your long-term vision. Collaboration among your professional advisors is equally important. Engaging a family office to coordinate the interaction between your attorney, CPA, estate plan, and choice of charitable vehicle will ensure a smooth path forward. At Biltmore Family Office, guiding this process is one of the ways we assist our clients in making the world a better place. This MLK Day remember the guiding words of Dr. King: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” #biltmorefamilyoffice #philanthropy #collaborative #charitableplanning
