Do you only ask for gifts of cash or marketable securities from your church members or supporters?

Did you know there are billions of dollars in privately held interests owned by very philanthropically-minded individuals who would love to make a gift to your congregation or religious nonprofit?

Do you know how to encourage your church members and donors to consider those gifts or how to spot those who may hold these more complex assets?

Sign up for a FREE webinar to learn what to look for proactively and how to build trust with church members and supporters who can make these special gifts. Bryan Clontz of Charitable Solutions will be the guest speaker.

On Wednesday, September 20, at 11 a.m. CST, Bryan will join Greg Rousos of New Covenant Trust Company and James W. Murphy of the Episcopal Church Foundation to review how anyone can work with our programs to encourage and finalize gifts like these.
