A Living Endowment - The Key to Unrestricted Giving

Thursday, January 11, 2007
10 – 11:30 a.m.
The Wellness Community – Orange County
540 N. Golden Circle Drive, #315
Santa Ana, CA 92705

Program Summary:

Learn the proven concepts, ideas, plans and how-to-steps you can take to obtain the most sought after, the most difficult dollars to obtain and the most valuable to your organization - unrestricted dollars. See how a small cadre of donors can provide your organization with the equivalent of $2,000,000 endowment that provides $100,000 each year through annual leadership gifts. This audio seminar will provide nonprofits that are without the major gift constituent base to build traditional endowment, the knowledge to create a living endowment using annual giving donor club/society concepts. Explore this plan developed and presented by Jim Donovan, fundraiser, trainer and author of the book "Take the Fear Out of Asking for Major Gifts."

About the Presenter:

James A. Donovan, President/CEO of Donovan Management, is a career veteran of the nonprofit sector. He has spent his entire professional life in philanthropy, beginning with his first staff position with the United Way in his hometown of Utica, New York in 1972. He held senior level staff positions with the United Negro College Fund, Tusculum College in Tennessee, East Tennessee State University, University of Central Florida and Clemson University. Throughout his career he has guided over $100 million in fund raising programs and campaigns.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover a new, long term and proven method of attracting unrestricted donors.
  • Learn how to create an endowment with donors while they are living so you don't have to wait for bequests

Target Audience:

  • Mid-level staff from small to larger NPOs that find it difficult to raise unrestricted dollars.
