Planned Giving and Endowment Programs
Once-in-a-lifetime, large gifts from a donor can greatly impact the ability of a nonprofit organization to advance its mission and change lives. These large gifts are often made through a donor’s will or other planned giving instrument. MMS Advancement Associates LLC helps your organization establish or grow your planned giving and endowment programs through a comprehensive approach that begins with an assessment of current donor opportunities and includes policies, procedures, marketing strategies and recognition programs.
“Their feasibility study to determine our ability to raise funds for endowment and capital needs is excellent in highlighting the level of support we can expect, and honest in assessing the hurdles we must clear to be successful.”
Laurence W. Mazzeno, Former President
Alvernia College
