Power of Legacy and Planned Gifts: How Nonprofits and Donors Work Together to Change the WorldSmall or mid-sized institutions that have thought about starting a legacy or planned giving program can find themselves stalled by certain assumptions: we're too small; planned giving is too technical; we have only a few wealthy donors; we're afraid we'll give bad advice.
The Power of Legacy and Planned Gifts: How Nonprofits and Their Donors Work Together to Change the World addresses these fears and assumptions and presents a simple, multi-stage process to help institutions undertake a planned giving effort.
Topics covered in this book include:
• Four steps to creating a stream of gifts
• Setting the stage for legacy gifts
• Integrating legacy gifts into daily work
• Gift tools
• Transparency and ethics
Includes exercises, figures, worksheets and tables to help guide the reader.
