There is a good amount to think about and talk about leading up to the start of a Planned Giving program and/or process. Along with the information inside our “Did You Know” column and the learning that will be provided at the CNL March 17th workshop, below are some additional resources around planned giving. We hope you find all this information useful and will get started planning your Planned Giving!
