| LEAVE A LEGACY®
started as an initiative of the Planned Giving Council of
Miami-Dade County in 1997. There are LEAVE A LEGACY® Chapters
in over 150 cities. The Planned Giving Council of Miami-Dade
County, is a nonprofit organization comprised of planned
giving officers, other nonprofit development officers, and
other professional advisors such as attorneys, CPAs, CLUs,
CFPs, trust officers and other professionals involved in
estate and financial planning, who share the goal of promoting
philanthropy in Miami-Dade County.
Some of the projects of the
Miami-Dade LEAVE A LEGACY® campaign include:
- a special section in the
Miami Herald entirely devoted to philanthropy and
charitable giving distributed on National Philanthropy Day
- educational outreach programs
for nonprofits (particularly those who are just starting a
planned giving program) such as the conferences on "How to
Start a Bequest Program" and “Tools of the Trade”
- educational outreach to allied
professionals to encourage them to incorporate charitable
giving into their practices and display the LEAVE A LEGACY®
brochure
- the Donor Next Door
program to help participating nonprofits reach their current
(and potential) donor community
