Use this group discussion between community foundation finance peers around Legacy / Planned Giving to leverage your industry network and learn how others have responded to topics such as:

  • What is the definition of Legacy/ Planned Giving in your organization?
  • Which planned gifts are accepted by your organization and which aren’t? Why?

For example:

  • Charitable Remainder Trusts
  • Charitable Lead Trusts
  • Charitable Gift Annuities

How does your community foundation become part of the conversation? Perhaps through people or events like:
