  How to Talk to People About Wealth in Ways That Inspire Major Gifts of Assets

  Wealth is not held in cash; it's held in other assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and IRAs. Research shows that shifting donors to giving from their wealth [assets], rather than just from their cash [disposable income] can lead to transformational donations. But how can we actually make this happen? Talking about someone else's wealth can be scary! In this presentation, Professor James walks through the step-by-step process that makes these conversations simple, easy, and stress free. You don't need to be a gift planning expert to inspire major gifts of assets. You just need to attend this presentation!
