Planned Giving

Planned giving is often the most misunderstood of all fundraising vehicles. Traditionally, planned giving programs involve a great deal of collaboration with a number of experts including attorneys and estate planners.Decisions made today sometimes will require years to come to fruition. For many fundraising programs, this seems a daunting prospect.

Despite its reputation, however, a planned gift is also one of the most noble and far-reaching gifts a donor can give. For many donors, a planned gift establishes a legacy that literally memoralizes the giver.

The Corporate DevelopMint Planned Giving Program--offered as a two-year program, a one year abbreviated version, or as a series of workshops--differs from the traditional model in fundamental ways:

• It is driven by the leaders in your community.
• It is donor-centric--not organization-centric.
• It is organic, relying on existing networks and relationships to evolve and grow.
• It is sweeping and sustainable, reaching wider audiences and providing solutions for all types of donors, which will ensure sustained giving for years to come.
