Description

Do you want to create a sustainable source of funding for your nonprofit organization?

Can you imagine having your organization written into someone’s will?

Just think of the incredible impact that could have for your nonprofit.

According to a study conducted by the National Committee on Planned Giving, the median size of a charitable bequest in the United States was $35,000. However, it’s important to note that this is just a median figure, and there is a wide range of bequest sizes. Some bequests can be significantly larger, while others may be much smaller.

Not all planned giving donors will be major donors, but all planned gifts are major gifts.

If you feel intimidated by the idea of building out a planned giving program, I’m here to tell you that it can actually be really, really simple. You don’t have to be the “expert” or know a lot about estate planning or taxes… you just need to give your donors the information they need in a really simple, easy-to-understand way.
