There’s a lot of “truthiness” floating around about the complexity of running a planned giving program. And somehow, bequests got caught in the turmoil.

But bequests offer your nonprofit substantial benefits over other legacy programs…

• They account for 90 percent of all planned giving.

 

• You don’t need an investment manager like you do with gift annuities.

 

• Most bequest donors are not wealthy. So your database probably contains more viable prospects than you might expect.

 

• Bequest donors tend to increase their annual giving.

The bottom line: Even if yours is a small or midsize organization, you can start a bequest marketing program today — with the staff and volunteers you already have.
