Respect Small Donors

February 20, 2012

I emphasize it as a prime takeaway in every workshop, webinar and keynote I do: the best Planned Giving prospects are those over 55 who have a long, consistent giving history, and when you screen for consistency, ignore the size of the gifts.

You Don’t Need The Fancy Stuff For Your Planned Giving
