Very interesting thoughts on the viatical insurance. The fact that people have turned buying and selling life insurance into a market is baffling to me. I guess people will find anyway to make money.

It's really not a missed opportunity. Planned gifts are only included as they are paid out...someone usually has to die first before that happens.

Comment on Planned Giving vs. Social Media

A very good point there! After all, what media was there to market anything (let alone, charity!) about a couple of decades ago!! People have become so mechanical that the personal touch has disappeared especially where it comes to raising funds where the personal touch matters a great deal! Social media is good for the exposure but one should never forget that personal touch where it helps to build relationships which lasts a lifetime in many cases!!

Comment on Is Planned Giving At Camp This Summer?

Well, you can look at “planned giving” both ways - while many people may find it uncomfortable to face the reality of death and take it as an insult that you are speeding their end, others may even without asking, plan to give a portion of their wealth to charity! So you must be very careful and approach only people you know personally for planned giving! This is where personal relationships help rather than the social media! So, planned giving depends a lot on you knowing the people very personally!
