How To Ask For An Estate Gift Without Fear Or Anxiety: The science and the sentences
The idea of legacy gift fundraising makes sense. But it feels a little uncomfortable, right? So how do we actually DO this? What, specifically, do we say? In this session Professor James reviews, step-by-step, the most effective ways to ask for an estate gift for your nonprofit. Connecting experimental research and academic theory with dozens of simple, practical examples, this presentation gives you both the “Why” and the “How” of the words and phrases you will want to use.
