Booklets - Planned Giving

Thorough and readable, with numerous examples illustrating current tax realities, each booklet covers a particular gift type or planning giving topic. Use them to respond to inquiries generated by your newsletter or through your website. They can also be used as a 'leave behind' reference, following a personal visit or to support a mail campaign with selected audiences.

The booklets are available in two forms. You may order attractively printed booklets that are sized to fit in a standard business envelope. At your request, we'll supply them with your institution's name and logo printed on the front, addresses and phone number(s) on the back.

Or, you may choose to order the text of a booklet in 'digital' form, then design them to your own specifications for publication.

Transferring Property through Beneficiary Designations

This Year, Resolve to Update Your Estate Plan!

Contrary to popular opinion, most assets are not transferred through a will at the end of life. Here's a helpful booklet about beneficiary designations and how they can be used to effectively address your prospect's estate planning needs. 

This booklet is designed to get your prospects over their procrastination and on to reviewing their estate plan — and then making an estate gift to your organization.

Straight-forward. Understandable. Compelling. This text could truly become an elegant leave-behind that deserves to be well-designed and printed in 4 colors!

How the copy is structured:

  • Introduction 
  • What are your assets, and how do you plan to transfer them?
  • What percentage of your assets will be transferred by beneficiary designation?
  • Do these designations still express your wishes?
  • Examples of designation transfers are presented, with tax implications discussed
  • Reasons to consider a charitable gift by beneficiary designation are explored
