🌱 Harnessing Legacy Giving in the Southern Gulf Islands 🌱

Calling all community organizations serving the Southern Gulf Islands!

We're hosting a special, practical training on Legacy Giving — what it is, how to do it, and why now is the time to get started.

As our aging population prepares to define their legacy, we're witnessing an unprecedented shift in wealth and assets across the Gulf Islands. Organizations like yours have a unique opportunity to support community members in making lasting contributions that reflect their values.

Whether you're considering starting a legacy giving program, an endowment fund, or a foundation — this workshop is for you.

🗓 Wednesday, June 11 | 9:00am–3:30pm
📍 In-person workshop with hands-on support
💻 Includes a livestream info session on the basics
🎓 Led by legacy giving expert Aimee Lindenberger and non-profit strategist (and Pender resident) Alison Brewin

What you'll gain:
✅ A clear understanding of legacy giving
✅ Tools to create a strong legacy giving campaign
✅ Communication strategies that resonate
✅ Ideas for building partnerships and collaboration

This is your chance to plan, ask questions, and start building sustainable revenue that will support your mission for generations. Even fully volunteer-run organizations need resources to thrive!

✨ Let’s build a culture of giving that lasts.
