Seminar Speaker

Raising Revenue FOR Planned Giving

Yes, you read it right, without the allocation of resources for a Planned Giving program (no matter how basic or how elaborate) you will never make it happen!

This Seminar is the first of its kind specifically designed for Directors of Development, Major Gifts Officers and Planned Giving Officers. In this participatory workshop we will develop the case to your CFO for seeing that the budget includes financial resources to launch or expand your Planned Giving initiative. PPGGNY Members who want to participate in this seminar are encouraged to bring one colleague (member or non-member) from their organization (e.g., the Director of Development or CFO). A special guest with great insight will be with us.

The Seminar is being offered free to PPGGNY Members courtesy of our Lead Educational Sponsor, National Madison. Space is limited to 60 participants, first come first serve.
