PLANNED GIVING
CREATING MISSION-BASED LEGACIES
There are many reasons to invest in planned giving. It’s no secret that planned giving gives donors the opportunity to have a far greater financial impact than they likely could have ever imagined. The best part is when done right, planned gifts can be used to grow an endowment and bolster annual giving year after year. These gifts can also deepen donor relationships and have a positive effect on retention.
At Schultz & Williams, our integrated approach to nonprofit management ensures that your PG program is as strong as all other fundraising programs within your organization. We build and optimize your planned giving program so that it seamlessly integrates with your broader development program to strengthen all of your giving objectives. Advanced data analytics, innovative marketing, and an infrastructure designed for sustainability form the basis of a program that will continue to propel your mission long into the future.
