A "Planned Gift" may be any deferred or current charitable gift where the donor's objectives and circumstances are considered in order to provide maximum benefit to both the donor and your organization. Donors are becoming more interested in planned giving as a way to support their favorite charities. Organizations that educate their donors about planned giving and inform their donors of the organization's ability to accommodate planned gifts will benefit from more and larger gifts. Planned gifts often exceed $100,000. Bar Harbor Trust Services offers a program that will help you become more familiar with planned giving and help you attract planned gifts. Our four-phase program is offered free of charge to existing clients.
