Philanthropic Legacies — Lunch & Learn

Please RSVP to LParker@rsabq.com

Join us for a complimentary Lunch & Learn with Marisa Magallanez, focused on Philanthropic Legacies. This session is designed for business owners who want to move beyond transactional giving and begin thinking more intentionally about long-term impact.

Many business owners give generously. They support causes, respond to requests, and want to “do good” in their communities.

But without intention, even generous giving can become fragmented—reactive instead of strategic, meaningful in moments but limited in long-term impact.

In this Lunch & Learn, we’ll explore:

• The difference between reactive giving and legacy building

• Why values—not dollars—are the foundation of impact

• How intentional philanthropy creates alignment across family, business, and community

Legacy planning isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most—with clarity and purpose. Marisa brings a perspective that is both strategic and deeply local—grounded in New Mexico values and realities.

Lunch will be served. Seating is limited. Please RSVP to  LParker@rsabq.com.

The Balthazar Room is located at the east end of the restaurant with a dedicated entrance.
