How to Make Your Giving More Impactful with Hans Dekker

In this episode, Derek Wittjohann sits down with Hans Dekker, President of the Community Foundation of New Jersey, for a conversation about making philanthropy more intentional, strategic, and meaningful. Hans shares his perspective on donor-advised funds, how they compare to private foundations, and the role thoughtful planning can play in aligning charitable giving with a family’s financial goals. But the conversation goes well beyond the numbers. Derek and Hans explore how families can identify the causes that matter most to them, evaluate charitable organizations, involve the next generation, and build a giving strategy that reflects their values and creates a lasting legacy. From donating appreciated assets to navigating family dynamics and finding the right organizations to support, this episode offers a practical look at how families can shorten the distance between their dollars and the impact they hope to make.
