17. The Chronicle of Philanthropy stated that,“The board of many non-profits do not understand the value of planned giving in building relationships with key donors, and do not prioritize gift planning in the charity’s budget.”How many would agree with that?I frequently get asked about what type of non-profit would be a good client for PGS.The answer is an organization that is committed to planned giving and has dedicated time and money to planned giving.

29. Those with a net worth between $1-$3 million are worried about income taxes.For those with a net worth between $3-$10 million are more worried about estate taxes, with income taxes a close second.This is why the invitation to our donor presentations is titled “Income Tax Reduction and Estate Tax Elimination.”In advertising it is commonly said that you want to join the conversation in the minds of your target market.There is currently a huge opportunity to discuss these issues and provide clarity.The primary way to disconnect from the current tax system is philanthropy.
