Why Planned Giving?
The average charitable bequest in the U.S. is about $35,000. Over time, those gifts add up and can serve as a foundation for long-term financial stability.
Planned Giving Accelerator is designed to help small- and mid-size nonprofits that have an established pool of individual donors but don’t have the means to hire expensive consultants.
For less than the cost of most nonprofit conferences, you’ll get everything you need to build your Planned Giving program!
Work With The Planned Giving Evangelist

I’ve been helping nonprofits since 1997.
That’s when I turned my back on practicing law — for me, a comfortable but unpleasant way to make a lot of money — and discovered Planned Giving.
After launching Planned Giving programs at Iona College, and then St. John’s University, I recognized I have a passion and talent for helping charities start successful and sustainable Planned Giving programs.
Since then, I’ve been the evangelist for Planned Giving — showing scores of small- and mid-size nonprofits how they can build a pipeline of legacy gifts that support long-term financial stability.
Is Your Nonprofit Ready for a Planned Giving Program?
Through Planned Giving Accelerator, you will quickly learn that you don’t need a lawyer, a lot of time, or even a background in Planned Giving to get results.
Even if you have no familiarity with the specifics and nuances of Planned Giving and no existing endowment, it’s possible for you to start securing planned gifts in just a few short months with the right approach.
One of the smallest nonprofits I worked with, a historical society, secured eight Planned Giving commitments within its first year!
If your nonprofit is at least five years old, has individual donors, and is committed to creating more sustainable funding sources, you can succeed with Planned Giving Accelerator.
