Sorry, We Really Can’t Accept Your Mouse Trap! with Philip Watson
So, what makes a good gift to your favorite charity? Well, it might surprise some donors what can and cannot be accepted. And, it’s often a tough conversation that charities must have with a donor who simply wants to support the organization with a “gift.” Certainly, current or deferred gifts of cash and marketable securities are always welcome! But, what about other rather “unique” gifts, such as investment real estate, artwork, coin collections, farm equipment, gifts held in trust, contingent gifts, bargain sales, shared interests, negligible future interests and much more. Phil will explore what makes for good gift acceptance and counting policies and why they are so important to charitable organizations that wish to be grateful as well as discerning in encouraging their donors’ creativity and philanthropy. Furthering the mission of the organization must be paramount, but satisfying the philanthropic and/or tax-motivated interests of their donors also deserves attention. So, what types of gifts should really be encouraged, accepted and counted? And, which should be discouraged? Phil will share a few stories and explore the delicate “balance” needed in protecting charities and recognizing the good will of donors and their advisors to create meaningful, appropriate and effective current and deferred gifts.
