Planned Giving Program(s)
Pamela Davidson | April 28
Morning Forum | 10:00 - 11:30 AM
"What Keeps You Up At Night"
Designed for development professionals with
10+ years' experience
In gift planning, every day is different and changes from one day to the next. That's why, as development professionals, we must be flexible, accommodating, and always on the lookout for opportunities to "cast our line." To that end, this session will discuss what impediments exist to our success and why that keeps us up at night from changing leadership that does not understand the goal and methodology, to limited resources and changing priorities that reduce what we can do, to denied access by key prospects, to prospect delays in making their gift, to current and former leadership prospects we don't get to in time, to missed opportunities with colleagues and advisors. Multitaskers will delight in this talk, for much can be done to create "The Big Assist" through meaning work with colleagues and planning/goal-setting (aka goal setting).
Lunch Program | Noon - 2:30 PM
"11 Steps Your Charity Can take This Year for Planned Giving Success"
Designed for all development professionals, including small shops
There are steps every charity can immediately take to begin integrating planned gift ideas and appeals into its overall development program, and to introduce planned giving concepts to nearly all of its prospects. This session will cover eleven no- or low- cost steps, both practical and doable for staff, Board members and volunteers to establish and sustain proactive gift planning and to set activity-based goals in this critical aspect of fundraising. Both new and existing programs will benefit from this presentation that will include a description of simpler gift options in the materials.

Affinity Group Update
"Telling Your Organization's Story" was the theme for the discussion among the AFP Annual Fund affinity group in April. What an outstanding exchange of ideas, information and resources! Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
 Videography: Local videography expert Kim Brattain of Kim Brattain media walked us through the keys to creating and implementing compelling videos in our fundraising initiatives. We learned about targeted messaging, meaningful calls to action and how to creatively show outcomes of our organizations' work.
Testimonials: AFP members are capturing testimonials in some innovative ways! We shared ideas about how to best weave "first person voices" into our appeals to strengthen our storytelling.
 Mission Engagement: There's nothing like engaging donors in meaningful mission-based experiences to fully tell your nonprofit's story. Affinity group members freely shared ideas and tips during a robust discussion about how to engage donors so that they "feel" the impact of our work.
Bottom line...if you're not participating in AFP's Affinity Group conversations, you are missing out! You're guaranteed to leave with fresh ideas, contacts and useful resources for your organization and your career.
We hope to see you at an Affinity Group meeting soon!
