Do you dream of a wealthy benefactor leaving your organization $1 million in her will?  Chances of that happening will increase greatly if you actively ask supporters for estate gifts. This webinar will help you develop and implement a basic planned giving program. Learn about how estate gifts reflect donors’ values, legacy gift options, and the infrastructure for a planned giving effort. You’ll additionally discover steps and strategies to encourage donors to make estate gifts, maintain relationships with legacy donors, and administer planned gifts after a supporter passes away. This webinar is suited for organizations with an established base of donors who contribute regularly, regardless of the size of their gifts.
