Session Title Presenter(s)
Planned Giving: The Bare Essentials
The Bare Essentials is an intensive introduction to the nuts and bolts of planned giving. Topics include tax essentials, charitable gift assets, and planned gift vehicles. The emphasis is on learning the concepts in order to develop a conversational understanding of the technical topics so that you can speak with confidence to donors and prospects. If you are new to planned giving, need a refresher, or are a development generalist, this course will give you an overview of gift planning and the tools you need to make the most of it. Each attendee will receive a copy of Craig Wruck’s book, Planned Giving in a Nutshell.
This session requires an additional registration fee--$149

Craig Wruck, St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, MN

Session Title Presenter(s)
Does Congress Really Care About the Charitable Deduction?
In the Congressional debate on fundamental tax reform, the charitable contributions deduction (commonly referred to on the Hill as a "tax expenditure") is widely considered a legitimate target for reduction or even elimination. Now Tim Hanford, former tax counsel to the House Ways and Means Committee, and Doug White, academic director of the Heyman Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising at New York University, bring the debate to the dinner table as they discuss (sometimes politely) such issues as whether the charitable deduction is an inefficient taxpayer subsidy of charitable giving or the lifeblood of charitable organizations. Since this will be a postprandial event, Doug and Tim have promised to minimize citations to the Internal Revenue Code and we've promised not to serve cream pie for dessert.
