How does age affect thinking about money?
Age 38 – Raising children and building assets are at the top of the list.
Age 68 – Retirement and travel are positives that a person wants sooner rather than later.
Age 80 – Getting one’s affairs “in order” gets attention because death will be sooner rather than later.
Who makes a planned gift? For education, religion, health, the
arts… middle-class widows are top prospects.
For professional (The way we make our living) organizations…people who have made money in their chosen work and want to give back.
Anyone who wants to be “remembered” as having done something good.
Convince me…
There has to be a relationship with the donor – but not always.
The donor does have to find “meaning” in your organization’s mission & cause.
Success comes peer to peer – not when the “ask” is led by staff.
Keep It Simple. 8% of all giving in the US is done with a bequest -
$24.41 billion in 2011.
Donors can make a direct, uncomplicated bequest in their Last Will & Testament.
A bequest is a personal decision, a statement included in your will instructing that a certain portion of your assets are to be given to the organization(s) you name.
When Does A Bequest Happen?
Bequests are life driven and death activated.
Richard RadcliffePlanned Giving Expert
When Will You Know? 75% to 95% of your donors will NOT tell you
in advance that they have included your organization in their estate plan.
Why not? Keeping quiet avoids family squabbling. Death is a taboo subject. Donors want the right to change their mind.

The Final Word…We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give.Winston Churchill
Generosity consists not in the sum given, but the manner in which it is bestowed.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi
