"Harnessing the Power of Blended Gifts"

Thursday, June 4 at 12:00 p.m.

Blended giving is a fundraising concept that is discussed widely within the philanthropic community these days. But what exactly is a blended gift and how does a nonprofit best structure their development office to market, solicit and receive such gifts? It is important to understand the many ways a donor can make a blended gift, and where to focus limited time and resources to maximize fundraising efforts. For purposes of this presentation, a blended gift is simply a gift that involves an outright donation along with a deferred component. This could be an outright gift of cash, securities or other property in addition to notification that a charity has been named in a will or as a beneficiary of an insurance policy or retirement account, or any combination of these or other current and future gifts. We refer to these as “now and later” gifts. It involves helping donors make their best gifts based on age, wealth, stage in life and other factors while meeting nonprofits’ current and future needs.
