The Brave New World of Gift Planning – Where Do We Go From Here?
This presentation will explore the powerful forces underlying trends that are now and will continue to impact charitable estate planning. These factors include the economic impact of the Great Recession and its aftermath, the elimination of federal estate and gift taxes for 99.9% of Americans, the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, the possibility of taxation of charitable gifts, the role of planned gifts in capital campaigns and the re-emergence of charitable trusts as key planning tools for high net worth individuals. According to the Giving USA 2017 report, gifts from living individuals and gifts from corporations and foundations were all up in 2016, while inflation-adjusted bequest income declined just over 10%. There has been little real growth in bequest income over the past 15 years. How much longer will we experience flat income from estates when the Great American Wealth Transfer has reportedly been underway since 1998? Are we entering a period of continued decline in planned gifts or are we witnessing the dawn of the Golden Age of Gift Philanthropy led by the “Gerontrophilanthroplutocracy”?

Storytelling: Once upon a time...
There will always be new trends and challenges in planned giving and philanthropy. Trends such as changing demographics, blended gifts and blended responsibilities, increasing use of DAFs, metrics, and technology advances - all continue to change the environment and influence how we operate. Perhaps one of our biggest current challenges is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. One surefire way to successfully navigate trends and challenges is to share your planned giving stories. Storytelling will help you to live happily ever after!
Notes from session
SESSION 1 - 8:00 - 9:14 a.m. Beginner Track: Building a PG Program, Timeline and Budget 8:00 - 9:15 a.m. A basic primer for non-technical development professionals, agency executives and program personnel, this session is a good refresher for experienced development professionals, but is designed for small and one-person shops. Learn how planned gifts work, which ones to promote, and how a program to attract them can be established quickly and inexpensively. In addition to resource-rich handouts, participants will be guided to build a relevant budget and timeline that can be implemented anywhere. Intermediate Track: 5 Hidden Joys of Being a Planned Giving Professional 8:00 - 9:15 a.m. Like any profession, being a planned giving professional comes with its challenges. Successfully navigating those challenges takes most of our time and, for the most part, is the subject of this Symposium. Take a break and join us in reflecting on the joys of our profession. Rich will bring his top five but looks forward to hearing yours as well.
Advanced Track Topic: Donation of Real Estate 8:00 - 9:15 a.m. CFP: Participants will earn 1.5 hour of CFP credit. CCPG is an approved CFP provider. Handouts - Donation of Real Estate
Beginner Track: Donor Cultivation Strategies 10:45 - 12:00 p.m. A veteran fundraiser discusses strategies to focus donor identification and cultivation from a small organization perspective. Learn how to overcome the challenges faced from limited resources or volunteer fatigue and increase donor involvement and support of the organization. Special focus on donor identification before and during a capital campaign.
Intermediate Track: Bankers and Lawyers and CPAs -- Oh my! Collaborating with Advisors 10:45 - 12:00 p.m. “I need to talk with my advisor first.” With those words, gift officers embark on the sometimes-dreaded path into the dark forest of working with donors’ professional advisors. In this session, Rebecca will share what she has learned during one-on-one meetings with over 500 estate planning attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors and trust officers and from her certification as a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy®. She will discuss advisors by their specialty areas, clients’ net worth categorizations, and knowledge of philanthropy. What do advisors want from us? How can we best get what we need from them? This brisk jaunt will include detailed charts, handouts, quotes, and examples to increase your knowledge and confidence when working with donors’ professional advisors. We’re off to be the wizards … Advanced Track: Alternative Gift Options Under the New Tax Laws 10:45 - 12:00 p.m.Nelson Wittenmyer, Jr., J.D., L.L.M., The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Presentation - Alternative Gift Options Under the New Tax Laws SESSION 3 - 1:45 - 3:00 p.m. Beginner Track: Stewardship of Planned Giving Donors: Preserving Revocable Gifts 1:45 - 3:00 p.m. Marilyn Schaffer, Lincoln Park Zoo We all want to increase the number of members of our legacy societies, but getting those members is just the beginning. Since most estate gifts are revocable, you need an effective stewardship plan to hold and hopefully grow those future commitments. This session will give you the tools to develop and implement a successful stewardship program for all of your planned giving donors no matter the size of your planned giving program.
Intermediate Track: How to Implement a Legacy Challenge at Your Institution 1:45 - 3:00 p.m. Legacy Challenge match programs are a growing trend in the gift planning field. These matching programs are different from traditional matching gift challenges, in that they are meant to promote newly established or newly documented planned gifts instead of new outright gifts. These match programs can work at many different types of nonprofit organization and we will demonstrate how our programs worked at a museum and a large University. This session may inspire attendees to create their own Legacy Challenge match programs, prepare them for the challenges that they program may face, and excite them for the success that they will enjoy.

One of our greatest challenges is identifying and researching individuals with the capacity to give a significant gift today, tomorrow, or through their estate. In “Power Prospecting,” Jay Frost explores how to find these people within your constituency, throughout your community, and around the world.
