Sharpe Group Charitable Giving SUMMIT

January 17-19, 2024
Orlando, FL

Spend three days with some of the most respected experts in the field of strategic gift planning. This planned giving training is ideal for those who are new to planned giving, while offering a “refresher” for more experienced fundraisers. We’ll explore the essential components of a successful gift planning program, offer a comprehensive examination of gift planning tools, explain the tax considerations of gifts of assets and present a wholistic view of fundraising strategies and tactics. You’ll enjoy interactive role playing, case studies, networking and more.
