What is Planned Giving?
Planned Giving is part of an overall financial or estate plan. Planned gifts can exist side-by-side with your other beneficiaries and can be a contribution of any size. Donors have the flexibility to leave a gift unrestricted, which is the most common type of gift we receive, or place guidelines on the use of the gift.
