Introduce an opportunity on Main Street. Present a case study of a Main Street client. Invite your comments. Payoff Happier donors and clients. Larger gifts, better plans, and better world.

  3. And how to capitalize on them Trends in Gift Planning

  4. The Future of Gift Planning NCPG Task Force Report 2007 • Planned Giving is “eroding” within charities as a specialization. • Number of Planned Giving Specialists is “dwindling.” • PGOs have less control of the process. • Information on giving tools is widely available. • Many gifts are being structured by advisors with no nonprofit involvement.

  5. A Major Shift • “One of the most striking differences between the 2006 and 2008 study is the dramatic increase in donors use of legal and financial professionals to help them make charitable decisions.” • “Nonprofit personnel’s involvement dropped from 41% of cases to 29%.” Bank of America Survey of 700 High Net Worth Households, 2008

  6. Causes of Present Decline Donors access information on charitable tools via the internet. Donors get sophisticated planning from advisors. Gift planners have to wear many hats, only one of which is planned giving. High turnover among nonprofit gift planners. Nonprofit management is short term focused and demands immediate results. Donors prefer more consultative, donor-centered, or transformational approach.

  7. Advisors Not Perfect 2/3 of highly experienced advisors interviewed have limited philanthropic toolboxes, relying on one or two planned giving vehicles. 50%+ do not discuss their clients’ personal or social values, or help them develop a philanthropic mission. Overwhelmingly, donors reported it is they who typically raise the philanthropic question. Many donors say saving taxes is important, but that they are weary of the “tax lead.” From studies done by The Philanthropic Initiative, 1999-2003

  8. Nonprofit Edge • Bank of America 2008 study of high wealth families: • 95.9% instruct children in giving. • 80% of parents say their children learn about giving from a religious organization. • What role does your nonprofit play in raising flourishing families?

  9. NCPG – Desired Future • “In the future, sophisticated planned giving officers have changed their focus from structure of the gift to impact, becoming more donor centered and holistic in their approach.” • “Planned giving officers are viewed as part of the support team for serving the donor.” • Changing NCPG name to “Partnership for Philanthropic Planning.”

  15. What is on Their Minds? • When and how will we exit the business? • Will we have enough for us? • How much is enough for heirs? • How do we transfer assets with minimal tax? • How do we transfer values with valuables? • What is next for us after we “retire”? • “Is that all there is……?” – Peggy Lee

  27. Phil and Tracy to Randy • What if….. • We calculated how much current giving (direct to, say, a school) they could afford? • We got them engaged with good works now • We got the children engaged? • We used the life insurance to endow the current giving? • We sparked this family’s potential to co-create? • We positioned the advisors as an active and vital planning team?

  28. How Would Randy React? • Sure. • Thanks, Tracy. • Thanks, Phil. • Let’s ask the advisor. • We can run the numbers. • Who else should be at the planning table as we move to planning for near-term impact on education? • Now that there is better family, nonprofit, and advisor communication who else can we help?
