The power of non-cash gifts is undeniable. They are powerful for the donor. They allow the donor to give smarter, simultaneously leveraging multiple levels of tax benefits. They are powerful for the nonprofit. Changing the donor’s mindset from giving out of disposable income to giving out of wealth can massively increase the magnitude of current and future gifts.
 
This is all true, but it doesn’t address the biggest challenge: How can you actually DO THIS? That’s the real problem. And now, this problem has a real solution!  Dana Holt’s book Turning Wealth into What Matters provides that practical step-by-step guide for making non-cash fundraising a reality.  It takes the fear out of non-cash fundraising and shows you exactly how to turn this idea into real-world results for your organization. If you want to take your fundraising to the next level, this is the place to start!
