Helena Children’s Hospital Expands Charitable Giving Strategy Through New Partnership

HELENA, Mont. — Silverman Law Office has announced a partnership with Shodair Children’s Hospital to help donors maximize their charitable impact through planned giving. The collaboration will provide educational materials, presentations, and personalized guidance on tax law and estate planning, aiming to help donors implement long-term giving strategies that benefit both Shodair and their financial goals.

As part of the initiative, Silverman Law Office has contributed $5,000 to Shodair’s Hope Campaign, joining the hospital’s “Community of Hope” in support of Montana families and critical psychiatric care for children.

“The future of the Children’s Hospital Foundation is in planned giving, and we are excited to partner with Silverman Law and their expertise,” said Joe McClafferty, Chief Development Officer at Shodair. “By working together, we can bring hope to Montana’s kids while helping donors make a lasting impact.”

Shodair Children’s Hospital provides specialized psychiatric care for children and adolescents, along with a nationally recognized genetics program. As Montana’s only Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, it plays a vital role in the state’s health-care system.

Attorney Joel Silverman, CEO of Silverman Law Office, emphasized the firm’s commitment to community-driven impact. “Our partnership with Shodair is a natural extension of our values. Through this collaboration, we can help donors structure their giving in a way that provides long-term benefits for the children Shodair serves and the donors themselves.”

This initiative highlights an increasing focus on planned giving as a sustainable approach to nonprofit support, ensuring long-term resources for Montana’s children in need.
