CIVIC AND SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

Partner Benefits

Many civic and service organizations feel that the largest benefit is the privilege to participate as a Partner. Certainly, the fact that “your boat is in the harbor” will no doubt result in a rise in benefits as the tide comes in.

It’s not surprising that LEAVE A LEGACY™ is spreading rapidly across the country because the program just makes sense. It feels right and most everyone agrees that it is our best and only chance at tapping the potential of the intergenerational wealth transfer for the benefit of nonprofit organizations throughout our great country. LEAVE A LEGACY™ is the epitome of collaboration. It’s synergy at its best. It’s just wise to combine our resources and energy for the common good. This kind of approach to broad-based marketing is generally cost-prohibitive for most individual nonprofit organizations.

We believe that this may be the largest collaboration ever attempted in support of Iowa philanthropy.

Through LEAVE A LEGACY™ Iowa, smaller nonprofit organizations now have a tremendous opportunity to become meaningfully involved in planned gift marketing. Some had resigned themselves to the fact that “they would never have enough money to hire enough staff, to see enough people face-to-face, or to cultivate the amount of planned (legacy) gifts it would take to endow their program into the future.” Most nonprofits never imagined that they could ever be in the “game.”

LEAVE A LEGACY™ Iowa is a unique opportunity for communities and their charitable nonprofit organizations across the entire state to share a common goal and work together to preserve and improve the quality of life in their local areas.

“When we work together to help others, we strengthen ourselves.”

The LEAVE A LEGACY™ Iowa program opens the door of opportunity for all nonprofit organizations in regard to the impending intergenerational wealth transfer.

Larger organizations that have been involved in planned gift marketing and have the resources to hire development and even planned giving staff understand the potential for “leveraging” that LEAVE A LEGACY™ provides. As large as they may be, most could never afford to mobilize and sustain the massive communications, public relations and education campaign that is possible through a collaborative initiative like LEAVE A LEGACY™ Iowa. It won’t be difficult for these organizations to comprehend the benefits of becoming a nonprofit Partner.
