Relationship to Other Community Efforts Addressing Similar Needs:
LEAVE A LEGACY®is a collaborative effort with a demonstrated history of cooperation and partnership with people and organizations sharing similar goals. Virtually all of LEAVE A LEGACY® activities involve partnerships with nonprofits who recognize the need to promote philanthropy in general, charitable foundations supporting philanthropic activities, and those in the private sector and the media with similar goals. Through initiatives, such as The Donor Next Door program, LEAVE A LEGACY® helps smaller nonprofits develop recognition programs for their donors. LEAVE A LEGACY® serves as a resource, providing technical assistance, speakers and materials to help nonprofits not just to raise funds but to develop a higher degree of self-sufficiency. Finally, rather than competing against other nonprofit activities, LEAVE A LEGACY® helps to promote them. 

Expected Outcomes: Specifically:
(1) greater participation in the mentoring and speaker’s bureau programs;
(2) more contacts with smaller nonprofit organizations;
(3) greater usage of expertise and publications by smaller nonprofits;
(4) refocusing of efforts as needed based on survey responses;
(5) implementation of website and use by smaller nonprofits;
(6) greater attendance at conferences, seminars and workshops; and
(7) coordinating and leveraging resources with other Florida LEAVE A LEGACY® programs.

In general;
(1) greater cooperation and collaboration between and among nonprofit organizations, allied professionals, the private sector and the media in the promotion of philanthropy;
(2) greater awareness of planned giving among smaller nonprofits, allied professionals, the media and the general public; and
(3) a general increase in philanthropy and community building in South Florida.
