Planned Giving: Management, Marketing, and the Law (Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance, and Management Series)

Book Description

Unlike other areas of fund-raising, planned giving brings fund-raising professionals into contact with lawyers, accountants, financial planners, consultants, and wealthy donors. They need to be able to speak the same language as the donors and their advisors while still keeping their own organization's goals in mind. This book can help them address these and other vital issues related to starting, marketing, administering, and expanding a planned giving program.

Book Description

The 2002 Cumulative Supplement (ISBN 0471-250007) includes:

New chapters on such topics as: Creating a Chair, The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, The Non-Economic Benefits of Philanthropy, and Family Philanthropy
Updated and reorganized CD-ROM that contains 200 customizable forms, documents, checklists, and marketing pieces that may serve as models for suggested approaches or as document templates used in planned giving and development.

The supplement updates the core volume, Jordan/Planned Giving: Management, Marketing, and Law, Second Edition (ISBN 0471-351024).

The development officer should be able to get as much information as possible through the estate executor as soon as the notification is received. A copy of the will should also prove to be helpful. It is also important to ensure the constant flow of information between executor and recipient. Probate distribution expectations should be developed around a flexible framework.

From the supplier: Retirement plans that are meant to be bestowed to heirs may be subject to federal taxes that may even be nearly equal to the qualified plan's gross amount. In order to maintain a sizeable amount of assets, it is necessary to take a lump-sum distribution, lessen current income taxes with five-year averaging and transfer the remainder into a charitable remainder trust (CRT). The plan may offset some of the current income taxes with the produced charitable deduction obtained from the CRT contribution.

This book is a treasure!.......2004-06-28

The people of Scotland and Ireland have long been known for their whiskey (whisky if you are a Scot). Is it any wonder then that the southern Appalachians which are heavily populated by people of Scottish and Irish ancestry became America's "likker" capitol? Tracing the origin of moonshine from it's European roots and concluding with today's corporate like operations, Joseph Dabney has done a remarkable job of gathering the history of white lightning.

Dabney has conducted countless interviews with old time moonshiners and their arch nemesis the revenue agents. Both groups seem to have opened up to the author and the tales they tell are a historical treasure. Moonshiners tell of their recipes and secrets, almost to the point of making this a blueprint for an aspiring distiller. These men and women were proud of their product and despite the stereotypes, making whiskey is hard work. The retired agents also took great pride in their work and were proud of the friendly relations they had had with the still operators. Often, when these agents caught someone working at his still the agent just told them to go on home and be at the courthouse at a certain time. Only on rare occasions did the moonshine maker fail to show.

There is a lot of good humor to be found in this book also. One tripper, the person who hauled the product to town, which I have always called a runner, told how he avoided the gaze of any policeman. If he found a law officer looking at him, the runner would pick his nose. He figured nobody was going to watch a man pick his nose and it seemed to work. An agent told of a drunk staggering into town asking for him. The agent found the man and he told the agent he wanted to report a still. It took the agent a while to figure out the directions the drunk was giving him but he finally got it straight and the next morning he and some deputies raided the still. Guess who was running the still, it was the drunk who had reported it and he didn't even remember talking to the agent. It turned out that the drunk and his two partners in the moonshine business had had a falling out and this partner got drunk and went to town to report the still so his partners would get arrested. He forgot about doing it and his partners got wind of his actions. They stayed home and the drunk got arrested.

For me, many of these stories are as familiar and comfortable as an old recliner because I live in the heart of moonshine country. Still, I think even a born and bred New Yorker will find this book a delight. Well written and researched, it is a model of oral history gathering. Dabney is never preachy nor does he look down on the people he is writing about. He does however, decry the current sad state of the whiskey makers craft. The old craftsmen are gone and today moonshine is made mostly with sugar and with very little corn. It is also often made in rigs containing lead and has dangerous additives put in it. To quote one old timer that Dabney interviewed, "It'd kill a dead snake."

A Spirited History.......2000-11-14

An artful mix of verbatim quotes and scholarly research, you cheer when Thomas Jefferson lifts the excise tax, and you are saddened by the corruption that Prohibition unleashed. Above all you admire the integrity and the intense vitality of the colorful moonshiners, and wish they had been your friends. I hope that, somewhere, in some hidden valley, on some sheltered branch of a river, there's somebody out there tonight keeping the art and craft of "corn likker" alive.

Thank you, Mr. Dabney, for a wonderful book.

Informative and fun history of an American way of life........1998-11-05

This book gives the basics of making moonshine, not for instruction (though there is enough to get started), but as practical background for understanding the history and life of home whiskey makers. This is no "dry" history, rather it focuses on the more colorful aspects and characters of the craft. Relates how both government greed and criminal corruption helped destroy what had been a lawful legacy of rural American culture.

Great Book.......2007-03-10

This is a fantastic book that can really prepare you for a job interview! Lots of questions and ideas what interviewers are looking for.

I got it from the library..........2006-03-15

I always try to get the book from the library before I make the purchase. I liked this book very much. It gives you lots of questions, and a brief explanation of the background of the question. If the question is stupid, it will tell you so. And the references of this book is really helpful. I have decided to purchase the 2006 edition.

Putting words in MY mouth? C'mon now . . . .......2005-09-12

This book is more than a bit superficial, and anyone who uses these "answers" can be spotted a mile off by professional interviewers. Read Martin's other advice, but pass on his answers. Your answers need to come from the real you -- which is likely to be a far more successful approach than putting someone else's words into your mouth. That's as dangerous an idea as I've ever heard for an interview . . .

Superficial.......2005-07-02

Giving this book 2 stars is generous, but it did have some useful websites at the end. I found this book to be so superficial that it was as if the author thought that anyone who read it and used these strategies, as well as the interviewers, were very stupid. How can you possibly give someone an answer to a question that is asked, without knowing anything about his specific situation... and if you can give these general answers, shouldn't the interviewer quickly recognize that they are planned and rehearsed? Any company that would hire someone with these answers is not a company I would like to work for.

Great Content, easy to understand .......2004-12-17

I never believed that such books can help someone get a job, but actually this one was very nice to read.
The idea is not to memorize the answer it gave, but actually it builds the base that makes you prepare answers according to your knowledge and previous experiences, make you understand the concept behind those questions
Very well return with easy words to understand. It will sure add something to your job search experience and interview skills.

More than I expected (cd version).......2004-12-07

I ordered the cd version of this book and was quit impressed. Not only does it cover how to make money easily, it covers allot of principals that makes life so enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to anyone that understands that making money is a spiritual matter.

A Great Philosophy!.......2004-05-03

Take Rick Dad, Poor Dad, The Millionaire Mind, and Wayne Dyer's Intentions stuff and rool it into one. You get this book by Winget. Far beyond a "how to" book, this book shows a philosophy of success. A mindset. A way to live. A spiritual awakening. I have read over 600 books on money and success. This is the BEST single title. For someone who plans on having abundance and not just reading about it, this book is a must. It totally changed the way I think about money, and for the first time in my life I'm making it, giving it away, and investing it--and I still have some left over. The thing that's different about this book, and made the difference for me, is that it combines a philosophy of money with a philosophy of living. It's made a huge difference for me.

A simple to Use & simple to Understand Guide to wealth.......2000-05-23

Larry Winget, has a style all of his own. This shines through in this book. It is so very simple to read, yet every chapter has at least one brilliant idea, that can be used instantly. This is not a Think and Grow Rich book, this is a book that is full of thought provoking practical ideas.

I always like books from people who walk their talk. Larry was rich, then broke, then rich again. Who better to learn from than an achiever?

The book is split into 19 short chapters. It covers every aspect of wealth, and how to create abundance in your life. It is a book that is focused and to the point. There are no esoteric theories, just straight forward obsevered advice.

I would also recomend, Bob Proctor's Book Born Rich, Wallace D Wattles book The Science Of Getting Rich and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

This book should be on everbody's bookshelf. Simple and easy to read advice, from somebody who has made it.

This book WORKS!.......1996-02-07

"Money Stuff" by Larry Winget really works! Easy to read, thought-provoking and full of great ideas about prosperity! 'Ya gotta' read this one! Larry James, Author of "LoveNotes for Lovers" & "How to Really Love the One You're With.&quot
