A Decade of Million Dollar Bequests in Review

$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
