The Impact of Estate Planning • Board leadership engagement • An early participant experience • Solving an estate planning problem • A remarkable employee
How does Estate Planning work for us? • One participant to another • Constant promotion • Small group presentations • Key participants: • Longtime donors • Employees
Why do it? • Donor focused • Builds trust • Generosity heals
Charitable Deduction Changes • Limits on deductions is gaining ground • Charities are competing for decreasing discretionary income gifts • Higher income and estate tax rates will lead donors to lifetime and testamentary techniques to reduce taxes and achieve their goals
Side Effects on Planning • Estate plans will become more complex as exemption amounts go down and tax rates go up • Charitable trusts and other leveraging techniques to minimize taxes and maximize what can pass to heirs
The Outcome on Giving • They will do what they have done in the past • Likely decrease discretionary income gifts • Increase giving through their estates • Increased taxes on estates make charitable estate gifts even more attractive
Major Gifts The effect on charities: The organizations that are focused on relationships and are important to communities will be fine after a few months as the new normal is accepted
Estate Gifts The effect on charities: Organizations that pursue estate gifts will see an increase in gifts to endowment and outright planned gifts. Wise nonprofits will adapt to the changing market. Others will struggle!
Practical Approaches to Address These Realities Integrating Estate Gifts Into Planning • Your future success depends on your efforts today! • You must plan to be successful • You must then execute your plan • KEEP YOUR MESSAGE IN FRONT OF YOUR DONORS!

Three Types of Donors ~ 70% Give Out Of Habit ~ 23% Give Based On Emotion ~ 7% Are Strategic Donors
Where Are We Looking for Gifts? Planned Annual Discretionary Income Net Worth ?
Three Questions… …that must be answered for, and by, Strategic Donors!!
#1 – My Needs • Do I have enough to live on for the rest of my life?
#2 – Heir Needs • How much should I leave my heirs? • Do I have enough to live on for the rest of my life?
#3 – Social Capital • Would I rather my executor or trustee write a check from my estate to the IRS, or to my favorite charities? • How much should I leave my heirs? • Do I have enough to live on for the rest of my life?
Tax Total Wealth Self Directed Charitable Gifts Financial Independence Inheritance for Heirs Government Directed
Now, To the Issues at Hand • Many donors might not have the disposable income that they once had • Or, are concerned that they may no longer have the resources that they need to maintain their lifestyle
An Important Question • "If a number of my donors don't feel like they can write me check, but they still want to give, what other ways to give are available to them?" • There are many answers to that question, but here are a few that fit in the current economic environment:
4 Types of Gifts Donors Are Making • Gifts of net worth • Testamentary gifts • Gifts that provide income • Gifts that also fulfill estate planning objectives

Introducing New Concepts to Donors • Put their needs first • Help them achieve their objectives and goals • Show a better use of social capital • Give them time to think about it • Trust them!
Do Tax Considerations Impact Giving? • Do you think donors give so they can get a charitable deduction? • Do you think donors would rather give to local charities than to the IRS? • Do you think tax considerations impact the technique a donor may use to achieve their charitable intent?
