"A unique book with a unique approach, this is destined to become a classic." --Charitable Gift Planning News In this deeply humane and informative book, Douglas White deftly weaves together personal insight and level-headed advice in a probing look at the human side of planned giving. He helps you understand, develop, and use the interpersonal skills that are an essential part of every successful planned giving officer's art. White provides practical answers to such crucial questions as: How do I successfully approach a prospect for a planned gift? What are the steps to building a prospect's trust and instilling a sense of mission? How can I tell if I'm being too aggressive--or not aggressive enough? How do I handle a donor's lawyer and other advisors who don't support the gift? Tracing the entire process of acquiring a planned gift from the first phone call to managing the gift's assets, White offers many helpful pointers on how to deal with donors, their families, and their professional advisors, as well as executive directors and board members within your organization. He also helps you translate technical knowledge into planned gifts that are better for both donors and charities. The first book to take you beyond the mere mechanics and into the very soul of planned giving, The Art of Planned Giving is an important working resource for planned giving officers, fund-raising professionals and consultants, as well as nonprofit executives and board members.

Planned Giving in a Nutshell provides a concise overview of Federal tax incentives for charitable giving, charitable gift methods donors can use to make generous planned gifts, and the assets donors may wish to contribute as well as the integration of planned giving in a comprehensive fundraising program. In order to successfully negotiate complex charitable gifts development officers need to understand the concepts of charitable gift planning and be able to explain them in clear and convincing language. Yet, technical concepts, obscure terminology and daunting financial projections make it difficult for a generalist development officer to navigate to a successful gift.Planned Giving in a Nutshell grew out of a series of planned giving seminars in response to requests for a collection of reference materials that would still be useful long after the seminar presentation was over.Chapters include:- Tax Fundamentals - Emphasizing the donor's "after tax cost of a gift" and the ways in which careful planning can encourage donors to make larger gifts- Assets Used for Charitable Giving - Introducing assets other than cash that donors can contribute, with an overview of the rules and considerations for each- Basic Planned Giving Methods - Covering charitable bequests and other testamentary gifts, as well as life insurance and gifts from qualified retirement plans- Advanced Planned Giving Methods - Exploring life income gifts which allow the donor to retain an income as a result of a charitable contribution as well as a number of more sophisticated planned gift vehiclesPlanned Giving in a Nutshell is a practical guide to charitable gift planning for fundraisers and volunteers who are not experts in tax and financial planning. The emphasis is on "plain English" explanations with easy to understand examples and detailed illustrations of advanced planned giving vehicles.
