Educational Resources –
Easy-to-Access and Ready-to-Use

Every communication plan requires informative, inspirational content to engage and educate readers on the different gift types and their benefits.

We offer a variety of publication titles on numerous gift planning topics, promoting wills and bequests, gifts of retirement plan assets, gifts of life insurance, securities, charitable gift annuities, gifts of real estate and trusts.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, let PhilanthroPlan's publications guide your readers with thorough, up-to-date gift planning information on the topics that interest them.

All booklets, brochures, newsletter copy and other tools are reviewed regularly by experts to ensure absolute technical accuracy. We offer a wide variety of print-ready materials to promote planned giving, including articles, ads, postcards, sample cultivation letters and presentations.

We make it all available right here. Register now to subscribe (or simply purchase items a la carte), then download, customize and publish!

Brochure Text to Inspire Donors

Brochures (and ebrochures) are key marketing resources in educating your donors on the possibilities and benefits of planned giving. Use them to respond to inquiries, include with mailings, distribute at events or online as an ebrochure. Each of our gift-specific brochures describes and illustrates a particular giving technique, and may be formatted to fit on two sides of an 8.5 x 11" sheet, either full-page or in a 3-panel folded layout. You may choose either the clear, straight-forward text version or the informal, reader-friendly question & answer version. Please choose a Brochure Topic from the accompanying list.

Bonus Note: Selected copy from gift-specific brochures purchased from PhilanthroPlan may also be adapted for newsletter articles at no additional charge! Lengths range from 670 to almost 1200 words. (Once you purchase copy from PhilanthroPlan, you may use it in any way you wish.)

General Brochure
Designed to fit on both sides of an 8.5 x 14" sheet in four-panel format, it combines brief descriptions of all the basic gift types with a 'for further information' response panel and three panels reserved for information and graphics about your organization. 

If you produce only one piece of gift planning literature, we suggest it should be this one!
