Stewardship is simple if you just treat people with respect.
When donors are deeply connected to your organization’s goals and vision, their support doesn’t end in death. Tony Martignetti discusses the importance of tackling planned giving or “gifts by will”, how it benefits your organization long term, and fostering donor relationships.
Tune in to The Business Behind Fundraising — Where To Start With Planned Giving with Tony Martignetti.
What You Will Discover:
✔️ The biggest lesson learned in a decades-long career. Focusing on “gifts by will” yields a more successful and much easier planned giving launch. This type of gift is written in a person’s will.
✔️ Seventy-two percent of people who gift-by-will increase their other types of giving to that organization. Planned giving doesn’t hurt any of your other fundraising events.
✔️ Organizational criteria for a planned giving program. This includes:
✔️ Keep donor relationships warm. Start a recognition society for planned donors. Track birthdays and send greetings via phone or handwritten letter. Set up insider donor communications and a VIP section during events.
