What you need to know to work more effectively with your donor's financial team
More gift officers find themselves in direct conversation with a donor's financial team - this makes it more difficult to make the emotional case for support, and requires special care and consideration for which not all gift officers are prepared.
Learn how to talk with your donor's financial team effectively to ensure a successful gift planning process. You will come away with:
- A deeper understanding of financial and longevity planning considerations
- How FAs, CPAs, and attorneys can influence the gift planning process
- Talking points you can use with these critical team members
Who Should Attend
Gift officers working in major or planned giving will benefit the most from this training. Those working in prospect development may also find value in helping to support gift officers in these conversations.
