PLANNED GIVING

Maximize your fundraising by asking for planned gifts. Learn how to communicate with donors about their wealth and their financial assets – not just their cash – and learn how a planned gift can provide them with current income, an inheritance for their heirs and a legacy through your charitable organization.  

Instructed by Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, you'll dive into all the facets of planned giving: from types of planned gifts to regulation around planned gifts, timing and rules of gifts and how to communicate about planned gifts to your donors.
