“There are many voices in different sectors in our local philanthropic ecosystem and we are investing in bringing these voices together to more effectively and collaboratively advise donors how to achieve their aspirations and increase their impact in our community through philanthropy.” Kimberlee Riley, CAP® Catholic Foundation President & CEO
“I’m proud to help further elevate philanthropy in Central Florida. This will have a broad-reaching impact for generations. The professionals participating will finish with an elite designation with the CAP®, and therefore the donors they advise will become more educated and engaged, and the ultimate beneficiary of course will be all of the great nonprofits in Central Florida.” Darrell DeVaney, CFP®, CAP® Founding Partner at F4 Wealth Advisors.
“At ShuffieldLowman we focus on people and see how this strategic alliance is for the benefit of our Central Florida community.” Greg Meier, JD, CAP®
ABOUT CAP®
Developed at The American College of Financial Services, CAP® was founded by Bill and Sallie Wallace. Bill was one of the most admired and revered professionals in the financial services industry who also became a leader in the philanthropic world. Mr. Wallace set out to solve the issues of disparate conversations between estate planning attorneys and wealth/financial advisors and their clients and nonprofits and their donors. By opening the doors of communication and collaboration between the nonprofits, philanthropists, and advisors, Wallace knew that so much more good could be accomplished.
ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA CAP® STUDY GROUP
The Central Florida CAP Study Group is a private/public partnership collaborating across sectors and disciplines to do more in our community through philanthropy. The Catholic Foundation, F4 Wealth Advisors and ShuffiedLowman are co-hosting study groups designed to bring together client-facing advisors and nonprofit executives to earn the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®) designation provided by The American College of Financial Services. This designation signifies that the student has successfully passed exams for three graduate-level courses.
Students register with The American College of Financial Services for the CAP courses and our partnership assists with coordinating the windows for exam schedules and hosting nine monthly meetings including a graduation and networking opportuntiies. Cohort size is limited to facilitate lively interactions which recap course materials, highlight actual experiences and engage national and regional speakers with cohort members.
The Catholic Foundation provides partial scholarships for Catholic nonprofit professionals. Our partnership is grateful for the generous grant provided by Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation supporting our meetings, graduation and partial scholarships for Central Florida nonprofit executives.
