Nonprofit Planned Giving Assistance
Over the next several decades, the largest and wealthiest generation in history will transfer $68 trillion to their Gen X and Millennial children[1]. An estimated $6.3 trillion will be transferred to charities through bequests[2]. Unless donors are asked, 90% of donor mortality will result in a lost opportunity[3].
Like never before, wealthy individuals are seeking opportunities to achieve their philanthropic goals through estate planning. This could mean, providing for their heirs, tax planning, and supporting the causes most important to them. By leveraging creative giving vehicles and blended gift strategies, donors are making gifts at levels that they had never thought possible before. In turn, organizations that are utilizing these techniques are securing commitments that will sustain their important work for years to come.
To develop a successful planned giving program, organizations need to adapt a holistic development strategy. In addition to cash-in-hand, donor wealth can be held in stocks, bonds, retirement assets, life insurance, and real estate. Development officers can access these assets through standard bequests, IRA distributions, CLATS, gift of life insurances, and other planned giving models. By strategically integrating these creative giving models, donors are empowered to think much bigger in terms of the impact they can make.
