Gift Planning Guide Desk ®

Consultation services to create effective gift planning programs.

Nonprofit organizations deserve to have a strategic blended and gift planning program, regardless of size.

If you are a small- to medium-sized organization with a consistent donor cohort but do not have a blended and gift planning program, then you are missing out on the $8.8 trillion wealth transfer currently underway. No matter your team’s size, you deserve to have a strategic and effective gift planning program.

Strategic blended and planned gifts enable you to:
  • Secure the best and largest gifts possible
  • Increase the total impact of the donor
  • Build sustainability of funding
  • Meet the needs of all your donors

  • We know you want to build a successful planned giving program but too often find your goals unmet and your potential donors unengaged. With Heaton Smith’s Gift Planning Guide Desk ®, our nationally-recognized team will help you facilitate and celebrate more blended and documented estate gifts so you can achieve greater impact through your organization.
