Facilitating Philanthropy with Gordon Nielsen
Gordon Nielsen is a dedicated attorney and partner at Delaney, Nielsen & Sannes, P.C. in Sisseton. With roots deep in Northeast South Dakota, Gordon has been serving his community for decades. Beyond his legal practice, Gordon is a passionate advocate for philanthropy. As a Key Club Member of the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF), he helps clients realize their charitable goals through thoughtful estate planning.
Gordon joined Pat Gallagher, SDCF Community Development Coordinator, to discuss how he works with clients and organizations to meet charitable goals.
In this episode, you will hear:
- How Gordon works with his clients to establish their estate planning
- His approach to bringing up the topic of a charitable gift during estate planning
- How he has seen nonprofits find success through partnerships with the South Dakota Community Foundation
“You know most people who come to my office have an idea of how they want their estate plan laid out,” said Gordon,” but it takes an experienced Estate Planner to know when it’s the right time to bring up the topic of charitable giving. In my experience, clients are often eager to learn more about how they can give back through their estate.”
