Legacy Gift Development Cohort
Our goal is that by the end of the program, your organization will have created and implemented a plan that includes the solicitation, marketing and stewardship of endowment and legacy gifts. This training will be offered to organizations that house an endowment fund, are interested in creating an endowment at the Foundation, and are ready to promote a culture of endowment giving through current or future gifts. Participants will be introduced to YVCF’s Endowment Building Toolkit.
Commitment requires one staff member and one board member dedicated to the program. There is no cost to participate. Supported and facilitated by the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, members meet over six months. Participants should plan to attend all sessions, however all meetings will be hybrid and sessions will be recorded.
