Christopher McGown
- Planned Giving
I am committed to making planned giving (legacy giving) a reality for every nonprofit! With more than 30 years of diverse fundraising experience, I bring a rounded experience to a laser focus. I’ve secured millions of dollars to advance missions and engaged thousands of donors across the socio-economic spectrum — understanding that your best planned giving prospect may not be your best major gift donor.
In my work, we look at all facets of planned giving: policies & procedures, donor data base management, initial prospect identification, marketing, donor cultivation and stewardship, and more.
Services:
- “Do it Yourself” – Planned Giving Training
- “Done With You” – Planned Giving Guidance and Accountability
- “Done For You” – Fractional Planned Giving Work
Non-profit Verticals — while we’ve had success in every vertical, we seem to fit best in:
- Social/Human Services
- Christian Ministries/Churches
- Youth Services
- Animal Services
Clients I Work Best With:
- Small to mid-sized nonprofits
- An existing development team of at least one
- Been in operation for at least 5 years
- Individual donor base of at 40% of the organization’s annual budget
Chris has been excellent to work with! Not only has he gotten us launched and quickly found success, but his diverse experience has made him an invaluable part of our team.
