2021 Planned Giving Basics
The series will be presented at the basic level. Building upon the information presented in previous classes, each type of planned gift will be reviewed in detail, and then new information about additional techniques will be added. The instructors will walk you through how each new technique works and how it fits into the donor’s estate plan. Marketing techniques will also be discussed.
This is a great opportunity for staff members who are new to planned giving to learn from the experts, or for seasoned staff who just want a refresher course.
