Mega Gifts and Planned Gifts… Who is Getting Them and Who is Giving Them
This panel discussion will include four Executive Directors of fraternal foundations who have each received a multi-milion dollar gift. Each will describe the individual donor, what their relationship is to the fraternal organization, and how the gift came about in a case study format.

Learning objectives:
