The Ultimate Win-Win: What An IRA Does for You and Your Donor
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a powerful tool that allows IRA owners to donate directly to qualified charities, bypassing the usual tax implications of IRA distributions.
Your database is the lifeblood of your organization! Inside your database is the key information you can use to target those most likely to leave you in their estate plans helping you fulfill your mission.
The goal is to find the warmest planned giving leads and engage them first. Your database helps you identify those most likely to give. The better your database is, the more effective your planned giving program will be.
A few ways to optimize your database for planned giving success:
Optimizing your database is work. When you consistently clean your database, update key demographic information, update your lists, and track planned giving contacts you set yourself up for success in planned giving.
Is your database not optimized? No worries, start cleaning today! The analogy I use is cleaning a database is like cleaning a house. If you do a little each day, it stays clean. The more consistently you clean your database, the better it will be. But you have to start somewhere. Today is a good day to start, it is an investment in fulfilling your mission!
