Big Game Hunting in theDevelopment Office–How to UsePlanned Giving to Capture WhatYour Organization NeedsToo often development officers try to in-corporate planned giving into their ef-forts by viewing it as a separate tool toassist with fundraising. According tomany seasoned practitioners, however,this is not the best approach. Joe Bull,2005 Chair of the Board of Directors ofthe National Council on Planned Giving,suggests that, “Planned giving is an ac-tive process.” Come hear about how Col-legiate School implements this processand thereby consistently enjoys $1-3 mil-lion every year in deferred giving activity.How does pursuing planned gifts differfrom raising outright/capital gifts? Howdoes a small shop raise these gifts with-out a dedicated planned giving officer?What can a CEO do to help? What musta governing board do to promote suc-cess? Our study will also provide a work-ing knowledge of each of the eight mostcommon gifts in this area, including theirmain tax features.Dates: Tuesdays, April 1–8Time: 9 a.m.–noonCRN: 70669 Fee: $150CEUs: 0.6Instructor: Stephen A.

The Annual Fund – Creating aComprehensive ProgramA well-run annual giving program notonly provides critical funds to operatenot-for-profit organizations but alsoserves as the platform for major gifts,capital campaigns, planned giving, andendowments. Yet many organizationsoperate the annual fund primarilythrough mailings and special events thatonly scratch at the surface of fundraisingpotential.

The best annual funds know theirdonors and they know fundraising takesa village. They have a good developmentteam of board members, chief executive,and development staff who know theirroles and pull their weight in fundraising.They are strategic in the development ofan annual fund campaign plan.

They view the various methods—directmail, events, grant process, personalizedcontacts—not as separate activities butas parts of a total program to acquire,keep, and upgrade donors over their life-time. They analyze fundraising methodsand set realistic goals. They have a per-sonalized component—some one-on-one aspect.

This course will focus on:

• Identifying your annual fund strate-gies and identifying the techniques forsuccess

• Defining and communicating the an-nual fund case – the fundraiser’s bestfriend

• Building your annual fund con-stituency

• Maximizing relationships – the roleof the board, volunteer and staff inthe annual fund.
