You Don’t Have to Learn Another Language to “Get” Planned Giving.
In a world where your average prospect is inundated with over 3,500 marketing messages a day, an important element to getting your message heard is to make it simple. Overly-simple.

For many, planned giving is, at worst, an ominous topic, and at best, a boring one. But Viken makes planned giving interesting, relevant, informative, and even humorous.
Planned giving speakers are often dry enough to put a cat on speed to sleep. They talk about software and the technicalities of gift vehicles. Not so in this webinar. This presentation is practical, will inspire action, and comes with a 100% no-snoozefest guarantee.
Expect to take copious notes.
