Planned Giving Accelerator is an online membership community, where folks in small- and mid-size nonprofits learn to launch Planned Giving fundraising in their orgs. This adds value to your fundraising toolkit, with a method of starting or growing your endowment. You’ll learn how to raise long-term, sustainability-type gifts in donors’ wills. Tony Martignetti teaches the 3-month course, yet members learn as much from their peers as they do from him in the Accelerator weekly 1-hour meetings together. The next class starts in early March and you’ll be done by Memorial Day. Information is at PlannedGivingAccelerator.com.
