Successful planned giving programs don’t happen in silos—they thrive when every department is on the same page. ?? The key? Buy-in across the entire nonprofit team. Here's how: 1?? Finance teams can see the long-term value and commit resources, even when gifts take years to materialize. 2?? Annual giving teams can amplify efforts with shared marketing and prospect identification. 3?? Major giving teams—the most important partner—can collaborate to unlock opportunities, as major donors often become planned giving donors (and vice versa). By breaking down silos and working together, your nonprofit can create stronger, more sustainable donor relationships. ??
