A planned giving roadmap: How to drive forward the capacity and sustainability of your program.
We all know that the Canadian landscape of nonprofits covers a wide variety of organizations, including national to local, fully staffed to one-person shops, and fully developed databases to detailed spreadsheets. Yet we often speak of planned giving programs as if they are one-size fits all, a viewpoint which limits some organizations and overwhelms others.
Our national team has drawn upon their experience and come together with a roadmap to determine how to locate your planned giving program as it is today, and what the steps might be for your organization to fully realize your strategic philanthropy potential. Join us to hear practical tools to move yourself and your organization forward.
You will have live access to four seminars held in the fall of 2023, plus our resource library that includes the recording of each seminar, previous years’ seminars, and additional samples and templates.
