The best time to start was ten years ago…

The Fundraising @ Camp podcast welcomes Amber Grundy to join the hosts to share insights about how to get started with planned giving. Some of today’s best tips include the following:

  • Get to know your bank’s trust department

  • Encourage donors to bequeath a percentage of their estate to your organization

  • Have a catchy name for those who participate in your planned giving program so you can spark conversations with “Have you heard about the Legacy Society?”

Join Travis, Heather, Joe and Amber as they discuss exactly how to get going today with a planned giving program at your organization. The best time to start was 10 years ago. The next best time? It’s today.
