"Four years ago we had no organized planned giving program. Today we have a very busy and successful program due to the efforts of Gift Planning Associates. They have worked with us from the ground up, establishing a marketing plan to identify prospects, handling personal follow-up with prospects, analyzing individual donors' needs, and converting prospects into donors. They have assisted us in writing materials, put together public presentations, guided our direct mail marketing and helped educate our Board about the importance of this aspect of fund-raising. They have also provided important education and background for our staff. GPA is professional and their associates are trusted members of our development team. We have had excellent feedback from donors, too!"
