How 'The Great Transfer of Wealth' Can Transform Broward

Our community, like many across the nation, is in the midst of a historic transfer of wealth. In Broward alone, a staggering $55 billion is projected to change hands over the next decade as baby boomers pass their wealth to loved ones.

This life-changing economic phenomenon is also an opportunity to transform our community with increased local philanthropy.

Dedicating just 5 percent of this wealth transfer to new endowments could create sustainable, permanent support to tackle today’s big challenges and shape a brighter future.
