When it comes to financial planning, not all advisors are created equal. Whether you work with us at Green Financial Group or another firm, one of the most important things you can do is look into whether or not your financial planner is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional (CFP®).

One critical area where women often feel less confident is financial decision-making. Despite being successful investors and financial managers, many women still feel hesitation or uncertainty when it comes to making key financial choices. Addressing this confidence gap is crucial for long-term financial success and independence.

For many women, especially as we enter new phases of life, the desire to give back often becomes a central focus. Whether you’re in a season of newfound independence, facing life changes like becoming a grandparent or navigating retirement, charitable giving can be a meaningful way to support what matters most to you. But with so many worthy causes, how do you decide where to give?

As women, many of us are natural nurturers—whether we’re supporting our families, friends or communities, so giving back is something that often comes instinctively. For those of us who are in a position to give financially, philanthropy provides a wonderful opportunity to make an impact on causes close to our hearts. But did you know that strategic charitable giving can also potentially offer tax benefits?
