(Coffee and networking beginning at 9:30 a.m.)

For our October Legacy Liaison meeting, we’re pleased to have guest presenters from Wells Fargo who will speak about why and how to leverage gifts of non-cash assets. Non-cash asset gifts include appreciated stock, collections, personal property, and many other assets.
In this session, Wells Fargo Senior Philanthropic Specialist, Debra Faulk, and Wealth Advisor, John Ripoll, will provide the “why” to include an appeal for non-cash assets in your year-end plans (especially since about 31% of all annual giving occurs in December) and the “how” to leverage these most valuable assets to achieve maximum impact on your fundraising.
Debra and John will:
- Share factors predicting current and long-term fundraising growth
- Investigate the psychological and practical aspects of why gifts of non-assets are so critical for high-growth fundraising
- Identify strategies for nonprofits to pursue gifts of non-assets rather than gifts of cash
