Learning Objective

  • To determine how to respond to your clients’ questions about charitable planned estate giving
  • To describe that there are comfortable ways for you to bring up charitable giving with your clients to help them think through options
  • If a board member and/or advisor to non-profit organizations appreciate your role in helping the organization get into and/or increase their presence in planned estate giving

Course Overview

Planned giving is a win-win approach to philanthropy that lets the donors leave a legacy and help secure the non-profit’s future at the same time.

Planned giving is the process of donating planned gifts. A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date. Commonly donated through a will or trust, planned gifts are most often granted once the donor has passed away.

Many donors don’t understand the impact of including their favorite non-profits in their estate plans.

Together, we can fix this.

As and when people with moderate to high net worth start retirement, they should consider a planned estate gift for one or more of their charitable causes. Most have created sufficient assets in house values, retirement accounts, and investments to cover their retirement years and to provide for children and grandchildren. With people living longer and wanting to preserve assets yet still be generous to their charities, planned estate-giving strategies are becoming more important. And, many are asking how much to leave to their heirs compared to investing in the future of their community and society.

This online CPE course will describe the basic ins and outs of planned estate giving from the donors’ and non-profits’ perspectives. Working with donors and charitable organizations for over 40 years as one of North America's leading fundraising consultants, Tom Wilson will cover the basics of:

  • The recent tax act implications on passing an IRA to heirs 
  • The most common planned estate gift – a simple bequest
  • The most common life income plans include: Gift annuities & Charitable unitrusts and annuity trusts

What a great presentation. There are SO many good ways to give and tax and financial and giving aspects to pay attention to. The presenter did a great job of pointing them out. Many thanks.

I had hoped to learn something about the results of planned giving; i.e. what effect does each of the plans have on the closing of the estate and the financials after death.
