The federal budgets of 2014 and 2015 have significantly changed the landscape in insurance and retirement planning products. Due to the changes in testamentary trusts and the new Graduated Rate Estates, insurance will likely play an increasing role as will estate planning and the timing of charitable donations.the session will help planned giving professionals identify opportunities to build upon their gift legacy gifts and unlock potential legacy assets to be available for use today. Many not-for-profit organizations are encountering challenges with an aging donor and volunteer base. Organizations are now looking to engage Millennials as they look for new ways to maintain or grow their organizations moving forward. Individuals now have the ability to work with and support organizations from all over the world that align with their personal priorities and beliefs. How can local charitable organizations leverage Millennials through new approaches to compete with the increased competition for donations and volunteer time? As non-profits, most of us face the same familiar obstacles: tight budgets, limited staff, and never enough time to get everything done. With so many other demands on your time, the fast-changing world of online networks can seem like a a waste of valuable resources but with a focused strategy and a small daily investment you can harness social media to build connections, raise awareness, and engage a huge network of potential donors who want to communicate with YOU. 12:00 1:15 PM Rick Frost Awards Lunch Philanthropy in Manitoba 5

Traditionally, engaging donors is done through activities such as gift acceptance/management, acknowledgement, recognition, and reporting. As fundraisers, we often leave marketing to brand management specialists such as internal marketing departments or out-sourced ad agencies (if we even have the budget to resource this area at all). But what if we could blend marketing and donor relations in a way that created new conversations and possibilities for relationships? Red River College embarked on such a campaign in the spring of 2015. One year later, they re sharing their award-winning idea, its risks and rewards, and what it means for the College s future in donor relations. 6
