SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Yerba Buena Wealth Advisors, LLC, the exclusive provider of The Donor Motivation Program® (DMP) for Northern California, will present "The 7 Most Influential Planned Giving Trends… And How Concerned Nonprofits Can Take Action Now" for its first seminar in 2016.
This private presentation is scheduled for February 23rd and 24th, in San Ramon and San Rafael, respectively. The research that will be presented uncovers the latest insights on the challenges non-profits face as they continue to fund raise in today's environment, as well as key donor concerns, and how to respond appropriately.
The presentation shared last year was an "excellent compilation of prior giving statistics presented in an organized fashion. It leads me to believe our biggest successes are in developing a planned giving program" said, the Treasurer of a well-known Bay Area Health Care Foundation. Each of the sessions in 2015 were sold out with wait lists, as planned giving officers were seeking the latest research and best practices.
"The 7 Most Influential Planned Giving Trends… And How Concerned Nonprofits Can Take Action Now was very thorough with the right amount of data & story", said a Social Services Major Gifts Officer.
The Donor Motivation Program® has been recognized by CFRE International (Certified Fund Raising Executives) as qualifying for CFRE Education points. Each of our DMP programs will provide participants one point of CFRE credit:
• The 7 Most Influential Planned Giving Trends… And How Concerned Nonprofits Can Take Action Now
• How to Create High Trust Donor Relationships…In a Low Trust World
The CFRE credential is recognized worldwide as the global standard for the fundraising profession.
"The response we are receiving from the introduction of The Donor Motivation Program® in the San Francisco Bay Area has been phenomenal," says Andy Zittell, Principal and Partner of Yerba Buena Wealth Advisors, the provider of the Donor Motivation Program® in Northern California. "This is a proven and successful research-based program making a big impact in the United States and Canada."
Mr. Zittell continued, "When Executive Directors, Development Directors and Planned Giving Officers see critical and common mistakes made by non-profits in their approach to creating and managing a sustained planned giving program for their organization, it resonates with them in their environment. We illustrate some eye-opening trends and best practices for planned giving. Whether large or small, established or new, non-profits are beginning to realize how planned giving can be the perfect complement, not a competitor, to current year gifting programs because of its donor-centric message. In a well-established planned giving program, the needs of the donor are the primary concern, and what's good for the donor is good for the charity as well."
The February presentations are scheduled as follows:
WHEN: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM Tuesday, February 23, 2016
WHERE: Bishop Ranch 3, 2603 Camino Ramon, Suite 287, San Ramon, CA 95483
WHEN: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM Wednesday, February 24, 2016
