Planned Giving: Bequests, Gift Annuities, Trusts, Donor-Advised Funds, and Other Gift Vehicles

Planned gifts also offer charities a steady stream of revenue despite economic volatility. Explore the tools and techniques of planned giving, focusing on estate gifts; gifts of art, real estate, and other assets; charitable gift annuities and trusts; and the newer models for gift planning, such as donor-advised funds. Learn to structure a planned giving campaign, including audience identification, marketing and communications, events, and administration of planned gifts. Learn tools for being an effective individual gift planning officer in educating, soliciting, closing, and stewarding such gifts.
