Presenters: Sarah Staiger, Partner at Staiger | Vitelli and Associates and Ashley Reiter, Financial Planner, MSFP, CFP®, AIF®, CRPC®.
Session Description: At the intersection of philanthropic intent and wealth you’ll find the place where these two professionals meet: the Financial Planner and the Fundraiser. What does each bring to the table for the donor? What are financial planners even telling the donor/client about philanthropy? Are we on the same team? How can we work together for the donor if we don’t know what the other is up to? Should I even start a planned giving program if financial planners are helping donors give already? Join our Oct. 5 session to hear our take on answers to these questions and more. We’ll share the basic building blocks to creating a simple, mission-driven planned giving program for your nonprofit, and the key drivers of the financial planning profession that will help you improve your current program.
