A Strategy
That Benefits Everyone
The history of charitable giving in the United States is long, storied and unprecedented in size and scope in the modern world. In addition, throughout the last decade financial products such as annuities, insurances, trusts, etc. have been employed to address both the donative and estate planning objectives of donors. While these products represent positive strides, they don’t address the drawbacks associated with the vast majority of funding strategies employed by charitable organizations that have focused primarily on garnering support based on the intangible benefits of offering a donor the feeling of having achieved social, spiritual and economic good with his or her donation.
We believe the answer to the quandary that plagues all non-profits – how to be more attractive to potential contributors – can be found by looking aggressively toward the secular investment community. There, ideas, concepts and investment vehicles abound that have the capacity to enable a non-profit organization to create compelling programs that provide economic benefits on par with secular investments. By offering competitive donor benefits the non-profit organization enhances their capacity to increase the size and consistency of donations.
