In June 2024, myself and a team of eager/coerced colleagues will be taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge which involves a grueling 26-mile hike, starting at 6am…and it all needs to be completed in under 12 hours. This is all in aid of The 1892 Foundation. MHA's 1892 Foundation provides grants to local charities in the North West to help improve access to financial education for young people. With the current global cost of living crisis, it is essential that young people have this knowledge to help them make them make the right decisions when they start earning money so they can make informed choices on saving, budgeting, and spending. This is a concern for all young people, but specifically those from areas with lower social mobility who may not get this financial education from home or school, to ensure we reach the people in our communities who need it the most. If you have any spare funds, we would hugely appreciate any small donations. Please click the link below. https://lnkd.in/ei33cpu6 #financialwellbeing #socialmobility #MHA 

Did you know? #DAFs are a mid-range philanthropic vehicle. ◾ Nearly half of all DAFs (49%) had total assets at the end of 2021 of less than $50,000. ◾ Only 7% of DAFs had balances of $1 million or more — and only 1% had a balance over $10 million. Learn more in the 2024 National Study on Donor Advised Funds, the most extensive independent study on DAFs to date. → https://lnkd.in/efNNFafs

Funds in a 529 account owned by a grandparent 🧓 have never been counted as an asset of the student for FAFSA purposes. Only money withdrawn from the account is considered untaxed income of the student on their FAFSA. But, this changed this year – for the better. Get more details in this week’s blog. 🌟▶️ https://lnkd.in/g2CGn58Z #forneylawtx #estateplan #willsandtrusts #powerofattorney #healthcaredirectives #guardianship #protectyourfamily #kidsprotectionplan #assetprotection #legacy #familylegacy #buildyourlegacy #estateplanningattorney #txestateplanningattorney #personalfamilylawyer #houston #adulting #smallbusiness #txsmallbusiness #businessconsulting #txnonprofit #nonprofit

I find it really interesting* that independent schools are suggesting the removal of DGR status from their building fund would "punish families". Just taking my old (private) high school as an example, a quick scan of their profile in the ACNC shows they have net assets of $177m. Name for me a government school that has anywhere near that in the bank. Not to mention the countless small charities and groups that are ineligible for DGR status, despite having a far clearer community benefit than an elite education business. Saying this change would punish families is also intentionally misleading - as the below article states: "The report did not, it should be pointed out, advocate removing all forms of tax deductibility for donations to schools – just those that skew towards the privileged." It's pretty simple I think. DGR status should not be manipulated for the increased benefit of businesses with large amounts of accumulated wealth that primarily serve rich people. *and what I mean by interesting is galling https://lnkd.in/gXb867n7
