A Decade Of Million-Dollar Bequests

$39 Billion in bequests. Are you missing out?

Thanks to a little help from our friends at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, we’ve distilled over a decade (2000-2011) of bequests into 21 easy-to-read charts, and put them alongside 20 pages worth of analysis from planned giving experts.

Find out:

Whether or not people truly “give where they live”
The number of bequests being left and their average value
The average income of bequest donors (you might be surprised!)
How they’re being distributed by organizational mission category (education, health, the environment, etc.)
Whether or not you’re doing planned giving RIGHT

Feeling like your job is getting harder because donor expectations have changed and competition for the charitable dollar is growing?

Finding that the old orthodoxies and conventions espoused by so-called experts in online echo-chambers and at conferences don’t work anymore?

Want to help more people make impact by facilitating their acts of philanthropy but feel like too many obstacles keep getting in your way?

Then this book is for you.

Engagement Fundraising was developed from the perspective of a donor who discovered firsthand that the impersonal, spray-and-pray approaches of his beloved charity were not only offensive but also wasteful and ineffective. So he took action. And now, you can too.
