Preparing for a Successful Write a Will Week Program

Write a Will Week is a community-wide initiative presented by the Charitable Gift Planners of Northeast Indiana each October to promote the importance of having a will and encouraging charitable giving in the form of a bequest. Local attorneys partner with non-profits, volunteering their time to prepare simple wills for participants at no charge when at least one gift is left to charity in the will. Not only is this an incredible service to the community, but your organization could gain a new bequest donor in the process!

Join Troy Kiefer of Beers Mallers LLP, Emily Lahr of Stillwater Hospice, and Alec Smith of STAR Financial as they share best practices for a successful Write a Will program. Our presenters will detail:

• An overview of Write a Will Week
• The importance of a will
• A timeline for successful planning
• Details for providing clear expectations for your participants
• Benefits for host organizations
