Ambassadors’ Legacy Council (ALC)
Why the ALC Matters
Many individuals and families don’t realize how thoughtfully structured charitable planning can help them reduce taxes, support loved ones and leave a meaningful legacy. The Ambassadors’ Legacy Council is our invitation to advisors, fiduciaries, and influential professionals to help bridge that gap. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, we aim to inspire a new generation of strategic philanthropists who align personal goals with transformational impact at Nicklaus Children’s.
Your Role as an Advisor
As a professional advisor, you play an essential role in helping individuals and families shape their legacy. At Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Foundation, we’re here to support your charitable conversations by providing tools, planning resources, and collaborative support when philanthropy becomes part of your client’s goals. When you help your clients connect with our mission, you’re supporting the future of pediatric healthcare for generations to come.
Council members serve as:
- Expert resources, providing insights into charitable planning strategies
- Community connectors, introducing mission-aligned individuals to the Foundation
- Philanthropic advocates, promoting legacy giving in Miami and beyond
