-
We don't believe there is only one "right" way to seek and manage
planned gifts - we tailor planned giving programs to each charitable
organization just as we tailor charitable gift plans for individuals,
families, and businesses.
-
We have assisted charitable organizations with a wide range of budgets,
staffing, geographic scope, and charitable focus.
-
We don't just talk theory about planned giving - we know the realities
of starting and managing planned giving programs because we have
administered long-term planned giving programs generating hundreds of
millions in planned gifts as staff members.
-
We don't sell gift techniques or products - we help philanthropists
choose and fund the best gift plan for themselves and their families.
-
We believe potential donors should understand both the advantages and
disadvantages of planned gift methods.
-
We have worked with thousands of individuals and their advisors during
our 30+ years of combined experience as charitable gift planners.
-
We talk to professional advisors in their own language and are respected
as having answers to basic and complex charitable giving questions.
-
We know how to translate planned giving technicalities to simple
concepts for volunteers, staff, and donors.
-
We are dynamic public speakers who motivate audiences to be part of
philanthropy.
-
We are compensated only on a "fee for services" basis.
