Webinars for Wise Nonprofits: A Gift in a Will, Now What? A Plain-Language Guide to Bequest Administration for Fundraisers, Nonprofit Staff, and Advisors

A donor has named your nonprofit in a will. What are your next steps? The gift does not simply arrive, someone has to follow it through. That someone is often a fundraiser, not a lawyer. This one-hour webinar will explain the process, in plain English, with no legal background needed.

You will learn how to:

• Follow a bequest from first notice to final distribution, and know who does what
• Ask for the right documents, in writing, at the right time
• Read an estate accounting and spot red flags before they cost the charity money
• Understand what a receipt and release form really does before anyone signs
• Spot an old, restricted fund and take the first steps to fix it
• Use AI tools for routine drafting without exposing confidential details

For nonprofit development and finance staff, program leaders, and executive directors.
