Nonprofits in the greater Philadelphia area are invited to attend a workshop to learn about The Philadelphia Foundation’s Planned Giving Services for Nonprofit Organizations.

The world of nonprofit development offers many challenges and opportunities. None are as potentially beneficial – or as complex – as planned giving.

The Philadelphia Foundation’s Planned Giving Services are designed to help local organizations attract more sizeable donations and grow their endowments. We provide all the technical and back-office assistance of closing and maintaining a planned gift. Best of all, The Philadelphia Foundation currently offers most of these services at no out-of-pocket expense to the participating nonprofit organizations.

Information sessions will be held May 2, 9, 23, and July 11. For specific times, locations, and registration information, please visit our website.
