Nonprofit organizations rely heavily on the generosity of current donors to support their mission. But what happens when a donor passes away? Does their contribution stop?

By fostering planned giving, nonprofits can secure future support, ensuring that their donors can continue to support the nonprofit’s mission even after they die.

One way that donors can support your organization is through planned giving, which involves leaving a gift through specific financial vehicles or legal documents such as wills or trusts, or by using beneficiary designations on certain financial accounts.
