Huge thanks to the Association of Fundraising Professionals California Capital Chapter for inviting members of the Planned Giving Forum of Greater Sacramento (PGFGS) to present, including our very own Chelsea Fahr!

PGFGS shared: "Planned giving is not a separate trail off in the woods. It is part of good stewardship with a longer view. When we widen the conversation beyond cash, we open the door to gifts of real estate, retirement assets, stock, and simple bequests. We also create space for donors to carry their values forward and leave a legacy that lasts." We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
