AFP WNC CHAPTER
JUNE MORNING SESSION
AND LUNCHEON PROGRAM

Please join AFP-WNC for a special planned giving training on June 20 with John Elbare.

Morning Session
Planned Giving 101

Presenter: John Elbare

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 

Planned gifts are -- by far -- the largest charitable gifts. They can mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving. Learn the basic concepts and how to use them with your donors. Every charity, large and small, should be inviting its donors to consider planned gifts.  Do not miss out on this extraordinary source of revenue.  We show you how to get started with your current staff.  From 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. 


Luncheon Program

Seven Common Planned Giving Myths

Presenter: John Elbare

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 

Join us for our monthly program meeting as we discuss the seven most common myths and misunderstandings that hold non-profits back from raising planned gifts from their donors.  Learn why almost every nonprofit can -- and should -- successfully raise planned gifts. From 11:45 – 1:30 p.m.

John Elbare, MBA, CFP® is the founder and owner of Florida Philanthropic Advisors, LLC, a firm that specializes in helping non-profits raise planned gifts.  John is known as the Planned Giving Coach and publishes a bi-weekly e-mail newsletter called PG Coaching Tips.  John is past Director of Planned Giving at the University of South Florida and served as a major gift officer for the University's College of Medicine and Moffitt Cancer Center.  John is a Certified Financial Planner and frequently speaks on planned giving topics to AFP Chapters, Planned Giving Councils and various conferences.
