WHO IT’S FOR

This module is perfect for the executive who understands that planned giving is a people business. It’s a compelling, donor-centered toolkit with an “Outcomes-Based” guiding principle.

It gives you the tools and steps to allow you to proactively talk to the right prospects in language they both want to hear and understand so that they make a planned gift. Use these effectively along with some of our other tools, and over time it will help you become a professional gift planner.

Planned gifts do not happen by themselves. You must be proactive.

The Estate Planning Toolkit and Gift Vehicle “Sell Sheets” are now included with The Box
