A Living Endowment - The Key to Unrestricted Giving

Program Summary:

Learn the proven concepts, ideas, plans and how-to-steps you can take to obtain the most sought after, the most difficult dollars to obtain and the most valuable to your organization - unrestricted dollars. See how a small cadre of donors can provide your organization with the equivalent of $2,000,000 endowment that provides $100,000 each year through annual leadership gifts. This audio seminar will provide nonprofits that are without the major gift constituent base to build traditional endowment, the knowledge to create a living endowment using annual giving donor club/society concepts. Explore this plan developed and presented by Jim Donovan, fundraiser, trainer and author of the book "Take the Fear Out of Asking for Major Gifts."
