SC Planned Giving Council Winter Meeting

Time: 9:30am - 1:30pm
Location: SC Baptist Convention, Columbia, South Carolina - Directions

Sponsored By:

Speaker: Gary M. Pforzheimer President, PG Calc Incorporated

Title: RECOGNIZING PLANNED GIVING POTENTIAL IN DONORS

All planned giving donors are philanthropically motivated but many cannot or choose not to make major gifts. By learning about the donor’s financial and psychological situation, you can often find a planned giving vehicle that will appeal to the donor who otherwise is not willing to make an outright gift. The options are many, ranging from a small revocable bequest commitment to a large irrevocable planned giving arrangement. In the course of this discussion we will review all the planned giving options typically available to the development officer and use Case Studies to reinforce the concepts!
