Asset Giving Workshop

Learn how to help your donors tap into resources they didn’t know they had to fund ministry. Join us for this two-day intensive training workshop designed for development officers and stewardship pastors working with major gift donors.

Your highest capacity donors hold 90% of their wealth in assets. They want to give more, but are constrained by cash limitations. Asset Giving University equips you to help donors realize the potential of giving non-cash assets.

This workshop blends technical knowledge, conversation skills building, and strategic insight to give you the confidence to unlock transformational gifts.

What people are saying about their AGU Experience

“I’ve been in fundraising for 40 years and I’m seeing opportunities I’ve missed. This training on asset-based giving has really challenged me to ask deeper and more meaningful questions with donors. I’ve talked with business owners about their business but I never really got into their long -term vision and their own legacy planning. One of the things I’m walking away from this training with is how to ask these questions that take us down the road of discovery and how to introduce these topics in a natural conversational way.”
