A four day training seminar on initiating, managing,
marketing and developing planned giving programs

Goal & Purpose

The goal of the Planned Giving School is to provide an inexpensive, but intensive, Christian-oriented training in this specialized field. Its purpose is to provide accurate, understandable information regarding planned giving and provide easy to follow instructions to begin, manage, market, and develop a planned giving program to increase available funds for ministry.

This is an comprehensive five-day course for those who are looking to begin a planned giving program, as well as for those who want to sharpen their skills in this growing field of funding ministry.
