It is no secret that the greatest wealth transfer in history is now underway, thanks to inheritances through wills. It is also true that ‘religious’ people are statistically the most generous demographic. Research, including CMA’s recent Fundraising Network Survey, reveals that in most cases Gifts in Wills (Charitable Bequests) generate the greatest return on investment of all fundraising programs. The case for Christian organisations to invest in Gift in Wills programs is clear, but it’s not just a case of diving right in!
In this informative and practical CMA Fundraising Network webinar, a panel of industry experts will guide you on how to start and step up a Gift in Wills program, what it might look like in action, and the impact this could have on your ministry.
This webinar is free for CMA Members, and for members of the CMA Fundraising Network. If you cannot attend the live session, please register anyhow, as a link to the recording will be sent to everybody who is registered within 48 hours of the close of the session.
