Charitable gift planning visionary Robert F. Sharpe offers nonprofit managers a down-to-earth introduction to the arcane world of planned giving. Sharpe, who defines effective charitable gift planners not as fund raisers but as experts at helping potential donors satisfy deep emotional needs, outlines the best ways to initiate and build a successful program by offering detailed answers to the following questions:

• What is a planned gift?
• Why is a planned giving program necessary?
• How will it benefit the institution?
• What will it cost and when will it pay off?
• How does it fit into the overall mission of the institution?
• What can be expected in deferred gifts if an institution does not have a planned giving program?
• How much annual budget will be needed to secure planned gifts…and for how long?

Highlights: Appendices include diverse views on American philanthropy and a glossary of planned giving terminology.
