Why a Collaborative?
- Donors generally want to consider and include a variety of charitable interests in their planned and estate giving.
- Donors are most likely to be open and comfortable about gift planning when it can be done with a non-biased independent counselor.
- Donors respond positively to efforts by nonprofit organizations to minimize marketing dollars, stewarding resources for greatest impact. This effort demonstrates tangible commitment by the local nonprofit community in that regard.
- Nonprofits in the Estes Valley find that by working together we are more able to mount a full-fledged planned gift education program.
- Our collaborative makes it easier for donors to get the help they need for their legacy planning.
