When we think about planned giving, we often imagine the impact someone leaves behind when they’re gone. But planned giving is not defined by a single moment. It takes shape over time through the choices people make and the impact they create each day.
Planned giving can be a meaningful part of a nonprofit’s long term sustainability, growing naturally from the relationships you build with your donors over time. Yet for many teams, it can feel out of reach, often assumed to require a formal program or dedicated staff.
We are thrilled to welcome Elena Fracchia for an upcoming webinar exploring how this work can take shape within your organization.
In this session, we will explore how planned giving can be approached not as a specialized program, but as a natural extension of your existing donor relationships. Together, we will look at how to recognize and nurture opportunities that are already present in your work.
Elena will share practical insights on how to begin opening these conversations in a way that feels natural, values aligned, and grounded in trust. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to integrate planned giving into their everyday engagement, along with simple, actionable ways to begin putting this approach into practice.

During this session, Elena will share how nonprofit teams can begin weaving planned conversations naturally into the donor relationships they are already cultivating. Rather than requiring specialized expertise or a separate planned giving program, this approach focuses on strengthening the connections you are already building with your supporters.
Participants will leave with a practical, people-centered roadmap for opening meaningful conversations and strengthening long term financial resilience through authentic donor relationships.
