Gifts in Wills - Making proactive approaches

The biggest intergenerational wealth transfer is upon us. Studies have shown that as many as two-thirds of Australians would be happy if a solicitor spoke to them about leaving a charitable gift in their Will. One report from ‘Include a Charity’ shows that as many as 25% of Australians would like to leave something to a cause important to them. And yet only around 7% of Wills current do include a charitable bequest. To cross the gap between ‘nice idea’ to it actually happening, arts organisations need to make proactive approaches.

Join this webinar to shift from waiting to receive gifts, to actually prompting consideration to leave your organisation a bequest.

Walk away with:

  • three scalable communication strategies that you can use that will lift your personal meet-and-greet approach
  • data to help you justify resourcing a proactive gifts in Wills approach
  • answers to your burning questions about effective gifts in Will programs.
