What Happens to Gift Planning After the Great Wealth Transfer?
Speaker: Nicola Lawrence
We all hear about the 'Great Wealth Transfer' often. While capturing your charitable share of given transfer will remain a focus for gift planners over the next 2 decades, how are we preparing for what comes next. As we are entering an era where millennials are becoming increasingly involved in philanthropy and are increasingly growing in wealth, either from their own efforts or from being a beneficiary of an estate. It's essential to align our charitable strategies with their unique values and digital preferences. Our proposed presentation aims to delve into the power and potential of modern gift planning tools and the integration of such in all types of fundraising. From Donor Advised Funds to online stock donations, creating estate documents on-line to national initiatives such as National Make a Will Month there are a growing number of instant and digital response tools that are effective vehicles to engage and resonate with this generation. We will explore the importance of aligning with millennial values, emphasizing tax efficiency, ensuring seamless digital experiences, and showcasing tangible impact. Additionally, we'll highlight strategies like peer influence, financial education, flexibility, transparency, and tech platform integrations to illustrate how nonprofits can foster deeper connections with millennial donors, ultimately cultivating a future-focused, committed donor base.
