Elective Session
Talking about money is hard enough. What happens when you add death and religion to the mix? Three experienced fundraisers – a Jew, a Christian and a Muslim – explain death and legacy giving in their traditions.
Statistics show that religiously active donors give larger charitable gifts. Participants will gain an understanding of faith-based giving from these three faiths with an emphasis on bequests and end of life gifts.
