The Challenge of Ensuring Accurate Information for Charitable Bequests
When potential donors are considering including a charitable bequest in their estate plan, they often encounter many obstacles and frustrations as they struggle to find the correct information about their chosen organization. It can often feel confusing and also difficult to locate an organizations proper legal name, tax identification number, address, and also any other specific information that may be needed to include them in a will or trust. These challenges can often make the whole process feel too daunting for many individuals, which is why charities are often missing out on many potential legacy gifts. Many well meaning donors will simply give up because they can’t easily find all of the correct legal details about your organization, which is why it is imperative that you find a solution to streamline this process, and to make all the information readily available for your supporters. You must not only make it easy to give, but you must also make it easy to find you. Your charitable mission is too important to be missed by those who wish to support you.
While there may be many online search options available to these donors, those tools are also often unreliable or may not provide the most accurate information, which may lead to errors and may also prevent a charity from receiving funds that were intended for them. This is an ongoing problem that must be addressed if you are serious about securing legacy gifts and building a foundation for long term financial stability.
