Staff Report From Athens CEO

Wednesday, August 29th, 2018

On Tuesday, September 11 at Athens Country Club, Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation will hold its fourth presentation in a series of seminars to educate their donors, friends, and community about the opportunities for giving more to the charities of their choice, without leaving less to their family. The events are in partnership with the Donor Motivation Program, an international program serving leading charities and their donors for over 20 years.

This is a timely program for Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation as it deepens its relationships with donors and establishes its future for the decades to come. This program represents their commitment to creating a healthier community through informed generosity and to inspire the generosity with opportunities to improve lives through better healthcare.

The Donor Motivation Program presentation simply titled Estate Tax Elimination and Income Tax Reduction, has been viewed by more than 100,000 donors for over 20 years and hosted by charities all across the United States and Canada educating donors about their tax savings and charitable giving opportunities.

The program provides donors and friends of Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation the unique opportunity to be educated about tax saving opportunities available today without making an "ask" of the attendees or being pressured to make any kind of gift decision at the event.

This series of events by the Donor Motivation Program is a way for Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation to say thank you to its generous supporters, donors and friends in the community.

Attendees of each event will also hear about major challenges and obstacles that donors face today along with potential opportunities available under the new tax law.

The Donor Motivation Program® is unique in its presentation to talking about tax savings opportunities available by demonstrating a strategic approach to tax, retirement and charitable planning. It also shows attendees how to use a three-dimensional approach to money as the key to being able to "redirect" tax dollars to charity while also benefiting family.

The featured speaker will be nationally recognized Financial Educator and Charitable Wealth Planning Specialist, Barry H Spencer. He will share his personal experiences and knowledge of how to leave a lasting legacy to charity without leaving less to family.

Spencer's presentation is rich with usable information, real world examples, a compelling case study and even his own personal story. In fact, it is his personal experience with a failed wealth transfer in his own family that resulted in the driving motivation to share about tax saving and legacy giving concepts in a clear and compelling way that benefits attendees.

In addition to the informative presentation, the evening will include appetizers and light dinner after the presentation so that attendees can ask questions of the presenter as well as interact with staff and board members of Piedmont Athens Regional Foundation.
