Imagine navigating a career pivot during a global pandemic, leaving the pastoral ministry you pursued for 15 years, and finding a new calling in the world of philanthropy. That's exactly what our guest, Dan Navarra, experienced, and he's here to share his inspiring story and the valuable lessons he learned along the way. With a focus on family, well-being, and embracing unexpected opportunities, Dan's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and adaptability.
When COVID-19 struck, Dan found himself transitioning from a full-time pastor to a stay-at-home dad, all while grappling with the challenges of the pandemic on his career and family life. But through the guidance of a mentor and the power of networking, he discovered a new path in the nonprofit sector, eventually landing at the National Christian Foundation. His story serves as a reminder that while preparation is key, it's also crucial to remain open to unforeseen opportunities.
In addition to sharing his personal journey, Dan enlightens us about the world of tax-smart giving strategies and the benefits of donor-advised funds. Learn how to optimize your tax situation, maximize your gift potential, and create a thoughtful giving strategy to steward what has been entrusted to you.
