Q: How can I maximize my charitable contributions?

 

A: If you’re like many Americans, donating to charity can be an appealing way to help people in need while also quietly taking “credit” for it though your taxes in the form of a credit. What some people forget though is how to get the most “bang for their buck” when it comes to donating to charity. For those that are planning to make a charitable gift, more times than not it usually makes the most sense to donate an appreciated long-term capital asset versus selling the asset and giving the charity the after-tax proceeds. By donating the asset instead of the cash, you can avoid the capital gains on the sale AND you can get a deduction for the full fair-market value of the property. Be sure to consult with your wealth coach to ensure the best strategy for your situation.

Meet the Speaker: Shauna Kahiapo

We are pleased to introduce you to our WRC guest speaker this month: Shauna Kahiapo, Associate Attorney at Leu Okuda & Doi.

Born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Shauna grew up with the values of ‘ohana, hard work, and strong integrity. She began her real estate career at the age of 19, quickly rising through the ranks and eventually transitioning to a title and escrow company where she gained invaluable knowledge of Hawaii’s unique property title system. Shauna continues to be highly-sought after in Hawaii’s escrow/title industry.

Shauna attended the University of Hawaii at West Oahu where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in Justice Administration. She also graduated from the William S. Richardson School of Law with certificates in Native Hawaiian Law and Environmental Law.

​Shauna’s ability to see the “big picture” and draw on her knowledge as a real estate agent, escrow officer, and title officer make her a multi-dimensional attorney. We’re excited to have her participating in our Wealth Revolution Competition as a guest speaker and look forward to her sharing her journey and insights with us all!
