How to Build Out Your Planned Giving Program: Data Segmentation, Marketing, and How to Talk to Donors About Legacy Gifts

June 12, 2025

9:00 am - 10:00 am PT | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Wealth is not in cash - it is in appreciated non-cash assets. We'll review some easy steps that a nonprofit can take to begin planned giving to get those appreciated assets. We'll then move into a breakdown of the variety of non-cash assets, whether a nonprofit wants to include them in their Gift Acceptance Policy, and how to talk with professional advisors and donors about those appreciated assets that can become major income for nonprofits.

Who Should Attend?

Individuals eager to plan their giving program.
