Fundraising from Inherited Wealth

Fundraising from Inherited Wealth


by Tom Wilson Major Gifts Guru

I do so much interviewing of people that when The Major Gifts Report called to interview me it was very interesting. The shoe was on the other foot.

I did get the lead article in September 2009 issue: "Refine Techniques for Approaching Heirs of Inherited Wealth."

Here are 3 points from the article about listening to inherited wealth's attitudes toward their money:
  • What is the heir's role when it comes to the inheritance? Does he/she want to guard it, share it, or grow it?
  • Is the heir the first person in the family to potentially guide family philanthropy, or does a legacy of giving already exist? Is a family foundation in place? Who are the trustees?
  • What are the heir's interests? Where do his/her passions lie? How are heir's intentions for wealth similar to or different from whom he/she inherited it?
