An Easy Way to Learn About Planned Giving
Speaker: Deborah Kaplan Polivy
The alphabet of planned giving — CRAT, CRUT, CGA, DAF, CLAT — can be confusing for both new and veteran development officers. Moreover, even if these tools are understood by the professionals, it is extraordinarily difficult to describe them to lay people — boards of directors, prospects and donors. This session will provide an easy way to differentiate between all of these giving vehicles, annual contributions as well as outright endowment gifts using an interactive workshop. "Fake" assets — cash, appreciated stock, IRA, real estate, life insurance, antiques and a notarized will — will be distributed to participants who will have the opportunity to act as donors by not only contributing these items but selecting the gift mechanism of their choice — outright, future or income producing. For those who choose the latter, they will receive fake checks in return. Those who opt to make endowment contributions will even have the opportunity to "name" their newly established funds! Various scenarios based on age and income will also be included. The session will provide newcomers to the field an easy to understand introduction to the tools and techniques of planned giving and will provide all participants with a model that they can replicate in order to educate their own stakeholders.
