On Friday April 6th we are providing a free Lunch & Learn for local nonprofit leaders. Attorney John Roth will explain win-win strategies for local charities and their donors, including easy-to-understand planned giving opportunities that complement annual fundraising programs. As requested by participants last year, there will be a guided networking session to build communication and partnership. Our goal is to giveback to our community by providing local nonprofits tools to better fundraise and in-turn serve our community. Registration is now closed.

SESSIONS

Planned Giving Strategies
Learn how to integrate planned giving into your fund development efforts.

Nonprofit organizations who include planned giving in their fund development efforts often receive larger charitable gifts from their donors. As the old saying goes: "you can't take it with you". Many people forget about including charitable gifts when doing their estate planning because they think it's too complex or haven't thought about it. Estate planning Attorney, John Roth, helps people create a plan for what happens after their lifetime. With this proactive mentality, he will share his insights on how nonprofits can make it easy for their donors to set up a charitable gift as part of their estate planning. John will focus on tools and strategies for nonprofit organizations to incorporate into their current fund development efforts.

Nonprofit Leader Guided Networking
Build a community of support through communication and partnership between nonprofits.

Last year we got 35 amazing nonprofit leaders in the room together, but there wasn't enough time for them to connect with each other. This was the feedback we got from many of the participants last year, so this year we'll be leading a guided networking session. Participants will get to know other nonprofit leaders and hopefully build partnerships and learn from each other.
