In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

A planned gift is the ultimate gift a donor can give your nonprofit. It’s usually their last gift. And quite often, it’s their largest gift. It’s a way for the donor to support their favorite charities beyond their lifetime, which is pretty cool. And planned gifts can have some surprising benefits. For example, donors who make a planned gift often increase their annual donations to a charity, according to a study in 2019 from the Giving USA Foundation.

More importantly, every major donor journey begins with a reconnection to the supporter’s life story.
