This network is a forum for discussion and exchange between nonprofit organizations located in Rockingham and surrounding towns. Our hope is that colleagues working in the nonprofit sector around the region will meet, share, and learn about one another, creating new connections.

At this session, learn to unlock the potential of advanced gifting strategies with a focus on Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), appreciated securities, and donor-advised funds (DAFs). This event is designed for nonprofit administrators eager to expand their knowledge and enhance their fundraising efforts.

Featured Speaker: Bill Stevens from Edward Jones will provide a comprehensive overview of QCD giving, explaining how it benefits both donors and organizations, particularly for recurring annual gifts. He will delve into:

– Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): Understanding how they work from the donor’s perspective and the best practices for your organization to accept these donations.

– Appreciated Securities: Learn about the advantages of accepting stocks and bonds, how they can significantly impact your fundraising potential, and the tax benefits for donors.

– Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): Discover how DAFs operate, how donors can utilize them for charitable giving, and strategies for organizations to engage with DAF holders.

Interactive Discussion: After Bill’s presentation, we’ll open the floor for a collaborative discussion. This is your chance to share and brainstorm effective communication strategies for promoting your ability to accept QCDs, appreciated securities, DAFs, and other advanced gifting options. Additionally, we’ll explore year-end giving approaches and other relevant topics to aid your organization’s fundraising efforts.
