Understanding how to be effective in legacy gift fundraising starts with reality. How are these gifts made? Who makes them and who doesn't? When do they get added or dropped? Who is your competition? Where does the money really come from? Who should I be talking to? When should I be talking with them? This presentation answers these questions by reviewing the most pleasant, and the most painful, realities of charitable estate giving across 380 years of data.
