The current pandemic has all nonprofits scrambling to change their strategy and find new ways to continue raising funds. Legacies, or better yet gifts in wills, are no different. It has been reported in the US, Canada, the UK and in many other countries that lawyers have been busy with individuals rushing to write or update their will.

Despite this increased interest in will writing, nonprofits need to be extra careful and pay special attention to how we communicate with older donors.

Join us for this FREE 60-minute nonprofit webinar recording where you will learn how to avoid some planning, strategic and ethical pitfalls, and what you can do, step-by-step, to adapt your gifts in wills program so that you continue growing your pipeline during the pandemic.

For nearly 20 years, Ligia has been starting and growing gifts in wills programs in nonprofits of all sizes, especially in small shops. Whether it was 9/11 , the 2005 tsunami, the 2008 recession, or the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Ligia’s been devising emergency fundraising plans.
