Pollinate
A Custom Solution to Grow Your Non-Cash Giving Program
What Gifts are you NOT Getting…
Too often charities avoid valuable non-cash gifts like stock, real estate, or retirement assets, and settle for much smaller cash donations because they're quicker and less complex.
FACT: Charities that accept non-cash gifts of any kind experience 50% growth over a 5 year period.
Fundraisers are overwhelmed by what they don’t know, so they avoid non-cash gifts. The fear of making a mistake or looking foolish stops them in their tracks. It’s is just plain false that you need to be an attorney or financial professional to handle non-cash gifts.
Any charity, big or small, can accept non-cash gifts!
