Join us for AFP Brandywine Chapter’s Annual Meeting and an engaging panel discussion focused on one of the most underutilized opportunities in fundraising: non-cash gifts. From cryptocurrency, to securities, to real estate and other appreciated assets, these gifts can unlock transformational support for your organization but also come with unique considerations and complexities. Following the panel, participate in roundtable discussions to share experiences and connect with peers about best practices and current challenges.
During this session, you will learn how to:
- Identify common types of non-cash gifts including cryptocurrency, securities, and real estate and understand their potential value to a nonprofit’s fundraising strategy.
- Recognize key logistical considerations involved in accepting and processing non-cash gifts.
- Apply best practices for collaborating with donors, financial institutions, and community foundations when receiving and managing non-cash contributions.
- Evaluate the risks and benefits of incorporating non-cash gifts into gift acceptance policies.
