b'FOR ADVISORS: TALK TO CLIENTSAffluent adults need guidance around estate planning and charitable bequests. Even if your clients havent put a charitable giving plan in place yet, there is a good chance they are already thinking about it. One in four affluent adults want to leave a bequest but havent made a plan. Not having formal plans to give is rarely due to opposition. Instead, many affluent adults are acting from a place of insufficient information: they dont know if they have enough to go around, they dont know who they would want to donate to, and some havent even considered yet if they would want to donate. Starting this conversation with your clients will enable them to make more informed decisions about their estate planning. Help your clients determine how much their family members will need to be comfortable, and how much they have that they can potentially give to charitable causes they care about. FOR FOREIGN CHARITIES: ASK U.S. DONORS TO INCLUDE YOU IN THEIR PLANThe vast majority of affluent U.S. adults have some sort of estate plan (85%) and currently donate to charitable causes (87%). Your current donors generosity doesnt need to end with their life. Bequest gifts are often the most significant gifts a donor makes. Dont miss out on this conversation with your supporters. Their other U.S.-based grantees will be asking them for similar considerations. A fifth of anticipated legacy donors indicated they would want to give to international causes, meaning there is a significant opportunity to grow your donations pipeline through soliciting bequest gifts.HELPFUL RESOURCESWant to learn more about legacy giving?
