Planned giving is pretty simple: you set the table - the donor makes an order. The hard stuff is done by lawyers and financial advisors and the payoff to nonprofits is significant. Last year, nonprofits received more than $42 billion in bequests and the Great Wealth Transfer promises to transition anywhere from $50 trillion to $200 trillion over the next 20 years from Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. So why are many fundraisers hesitant to launch into an area of giving proven to provide sustainable, long-term funding?
Because planned giving has been made to sound hard and time-consuming. It’s not.
Be our guest on Thursday, July 24 as we serve up an overwhelmingly simple approach to planned giving. We’ll review trends, workshop or build out your planned giving program from scratch, and hear from a panel of experts about the “special orders” they’ve experienced helping donors support the nonprofits they care about most.
Attend a half-day session to get caught up on trends and hear from the panel of experts. The full-day cost includes lunch and an afternoon session where we’ll dive into the three ingredients that make a planned giving program successful and workshop your own program.
Half-day Cost: $150
Full-day Cost: $225 (includes lunch)
