“Ten Notes for Fine-Tuning Your Gift Planning Program”

We all know the song, but how well do we sing it? Even the best musicians (and charitable gift planners) need an occasional voice lesson, if only to be reassured that they are still on pitch. These 10 basic notes will help you set the tune for starting, fine-tuning, or simply celebrating a successful gift planning program. This session is a basic overview of some of the fundamental “best practices” or foundations for a solid program.

2nd Session: 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm

“Strategic Decisions in Charitable Gift Planning”

In 1989 when the NCPG was created, many fundraisers aspired to become planned giving officers. They sought the pinnacle of their profession - the most specialized knowledge, the wealthiest donors, the top nonprofit salaries. NCPG grew by more than 1,000 new planned giving council members every year and it seemed that there really might be a dedicated planned giving specialist in every charitable organization.

Fifteen years later, philanthropy and fundraising practices have changed. What are these changes, how are they playing out in the current environment, and what do they mean for the future of charitable resource development and NCPG? This presentation will continue the dialogue begun by NCPG’s Strategic Initiatives project.
