Planned Giving Prospects:
What You Don't Know May Surprise You

This session challenges some of the traditional notions about who is a planned giving prospect.  It examines donors in various life stages and demonstrates how a planned gift can address certain challenges and financial obstacles to their making larger gifts to your institution.  You will learn about some less familiar planned gifts, outside the usual bequests and annuities, and begin to recognize opportunities where a blended giving strategy might help younger donors and entrepreneurs enhance their current giving.
