GIFTS THAT WENT WRONG

We will all have that moment in our careers where a gift that seemed to be going well suddenly goes wrong or where a completed gift, either one of your own or one by a predecessor, is now clearly in trouble. While our training is often around how to establish a gift properly, we rarely get a peek at how to handle things when the unexpected occurs and things start to go awry. In this session, we’ll share real examples of gifts we and our peers have experienced and share the fact patterns that highlight red flags to look for, how to build gift policies and procedures that help you vet gifts and donors, and how to communicate with donors about mistakes and challenges in ways that build confidence and trust. In a profession where we’re often expected to be experts in a lot of things (Real estate! Stock! Taxes! Art! Jewelry! Stamps?), how do you navigate the complexity and figure out a path forward when it seems to be going wrong? 

Patience Boudreaux is the President of Adventist Health Rideout Foundation in Marysville, CA, where she is leading efforts to inspire the community to invest philanthropically to improve the well-being of the Yuba-Sutter area. She's spent more than 18 years in higher education and health care fundraising with experience in annual, major, and planned giving. She earned her BA from Johns Hopkins, her MBA from the Drucker School of Management, and is a certified specialist in planned giving and certified fundraising executive. She currently serves of the boards of Southern California Council of Charitable Gift Planners and Northern California Planned Giving Council.


There is continuing education credit pending approval for attorneys, financial planners and accountants.
