Development Forum: Legacies
February 23, 2018 @ 2:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Why is legacy giving to arts and heritage exploding? And how can you make sure you catch the wave?
Registration and networking 14:30
Event 15:00 – 17:45 approx
Networking from 17:45 approx
Presenter:
Richard Radcliffe, Radcliffe Consulting (Biog below)
Arts & Business Scotland is pleased to invite you to a very special Development Forum focusing on legacies.
Arts and heritage sector legacies are growing fast but are nowhere near the crest of the wave…. Yet. So why are they starting to grow? And who are these prospects and legators?
Even more importantly, which are their favourite communication channels?
Do they need advice on Will writing?
What is their decision making process? And what information are they desperate to know when making their charitable legacy choice?
And if they decide they might do it then how can you cultivate them without irritating them? And do pledgers need stewardship?
The answers to all of these questions and more will be both shared and debated throughout the course of the afternoon. A drinks reception will follow to allow the conversation to continue.
Our Development Fora offer excellent peer to peer learning and networking opportunities and are open to all arts and heritage organisations and to businesses seeking to engage with cultural organisations.
This event also promotes participation in the Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage programme. To book please visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/development-forum-legacies-tickets-41044168212
