 October Legacy Liaison Meeting – October 26 In this session, Wells Fargo Senior Philanthropic Specialist Debra Faulk and Wealth Advisor John Ripoll will provide the “why” to include an appeal for non-cash assets in your year-end plans (especially since about 31% of all annual giving occurs in December) and the “how” to leverage these most valuable assets to achieve maximum impact on your fundraising. They will share factors predicting current and long-term fundraising growth, investigate the psychological and practical aspects of why gifts of non-assets are so critical for high-growth fundraising, and identify strategies for nonprofits to pursue gifts of non-assets rather than gifts of cash. |
