[PODCAST] Legacy Giving Made Simple

Planned giving has a reputation for being complicated, expensive, and a little uncomfortable, so many small and mid-sized nonprofits push it off for “later.” In this episode, Tony Martignetti, planned giving fundraiser and author of Planned Giving Accelerated, breaks legacy giving down to its simplest, most practical form: bequests, also known as gifts in wills. Along the way, we unpack why this is not a death conversation at all, but a candid conversation about life, values, and the long-term sustainability of your mission in the community.
