How to Get All of Your Planned Giving Marketing Questions Answered for FREE
You may be all alone out there. Charged with uncovering hidden bequest gifts, generating new leads and meeting with supporters to help them make their plans.
It’s not easy. In fact, it’s downright hard! But there are a couple of places where you can go to get your questions answered for FREE. On LinkedIn, two of the most valuable groups for people interested in planned giving are:
Smart Planned Giving Marketers Group (full disclosure… I am the manager of this group)
- Heavy results-oriented focus on marketing (lead generation, how-to’s, and best practices)
- Closely managed (by me) so you’ll see relatively fewer discussions but a tremendous amount of interaction among members (i.e.- 2 discussions with 39 comments last week)
- 3,674 members and growing very fast (almost 100 – 200 per week)
The Partnership for Philanthropic Planning Group
- All around great discussions on philanthropic planning albeit sometimes a bit on the technical side (if you like getting into the details and legal stuff)
- Managed by PPP (10 discussions last week with 11 comments)
- 3,601 members with relatively modest but stable growth
Also, if you are interested in major gifts, scroll to the bottom of this post.

Smart Major Gift Marketers (also managed by me)
- Heavy results-oriented focus on major gifts
- Again, closely managed (by me) so you’ll see relatively fewer discussions but a tremendous amount of interaction among members (i.e.- just 1 discussion with 45 comments last week)
- 12,382 members and growing relatively fast
Get the book!
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.

this arrived at an opportune time, Greg…I have a proposal in to a nonprofit who wants fundraising help from my consulting team… including some planned giving help. I was certified in PG over 12 years ago…and a LOT of the law has changed…but suspect the methods are still similar….so I’ll be taking a look. Thanks, as usual!!
Good for you Marguerite!
