Not All Gifts Area Created Equal:  Developing Gift Acceptance Policies
Presented by Attorney Stephen B. Killian, this session will cover the basics of developing a donor gift acceptance policy for your organization: general and specific bequests, donations of public vs. closely held stocks, real estate, life insurance and more.  Some "gifts" can unexpectedly be more of a hassle (and expense) than a benefit.  Join the Association of Fundraising Professionals NEPA Chapter for this workshop focusing on creating a Gift Acceptance policy that can consistently manage the expectations of the donation and charitable giving process in your organization.
