Gifts & Women
In Philanthropy
Led by Margaret May Damen
President and Founder, The Institute for Women and Wealth
"Who Am I Really, and What Is My Legacy?" Boom-Generation
Women who came of age in the 60s and 70s writing their own road
map for life enter midlife facing mortality with a new agenda.
Whether it's Annual Gifts, Major Gifts or Planned Gifts, the
New Rules apply.
Legacy planning can offer answers that are win-win for women,
philanthropic organizations and society's future well-being. (Sorry,
Henry Higgins,
"Why should a woman be more like a man?")
Boomer women are 38 million of the healthiest, wealthiest and
best educated women ever to hit midlife. Recent surveys confirm
their number one high-priority issue is a "desire
to make a difference."
You need insight and confidence to effectively communicate
and market your planned giving program to women. An
understanding of the five peer-personality traits unique to boomer
women will help you work with the women who
set the rules.
Discover how to attract and maintain their Trust, Loyalty
and Commitment (TLC) in our patriarchal society.
Insight into the
"culture of boomer women" gives you the tools and strategies
necessary for successful legacy planning.

Female"

“I can't thank you enough for the fantastic presentation
of Full Circle : Inspired Lives and Inspired Legacies. Your remarks
presented the “high road,” focusing on values, aspirations,
and dreams, and how, through philanthropy, one can work to achieve
these objectives. There were more than 56 influential women in
attendance. I have had fabulous feedback from attendees, who felt
that the program (3 hours) was inspirational as well as informational.
It hit the mark and set the stage for more to come.”
