We need the money now. Why should I pursue planned gifts?

Having doubts about going after planned gifts because it takes too long for the gifts to mature?

The average time from inception to maturity for a planned gift is 7-10 years — only a few years longer than most campaign pledge periods.

Do the math yourself:

- The typical capital gift target is 20 times a donor’s largest annual fund gift.

- The typical completed planned gift is 200 times a donor’s largest annual fund gift.

- Your planned giving pool may be as much as 5 times larger than your capital pool.
