Faces of Philanthropy Q & A with Josh Black: 

Q: Please share a short quote that reflects why planned giving is important to you or your clients? 

A: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill. 

Q: What’s one misconception people often have about planned giving?  

A: You don’t have to be a millionaire to make a difference. Many people assume planned giving is only for the wealthy, but the truth is that anyone with the desire to leave a lasting legacy can make a meaningful impact through thoughtful charitable planning, regardless of the size of their estate. 

Q: Who taught you about giving or stewardship?  

A: My wife Jennifer’s Grandfather, aka “Pops”, showed me what true selflessness and giving looks like. He was an extremely successful businessman with an incredible spirituality, and he was always looking for ways to give. His mission lives on today through the Andrew P. Caneza Foundation and he continues to change the lives of people around the world. 

Q: What motivated you to join the Planned Giving Advisory Council? 

A: I was motivated to join the PGAC through a friend and like-minded individual who inspired me to get more involved in the Catholic community from a philanthropic standpoint.
