IN THIS PODCAST, Joe sits down with Elizabeth Wagner, Senior Vice President & Chief Philanthropy Officer at the Princeton Area Community Foundation. As gift planners, we tend to focus on the technical aspects of the gift. But now, especially after tax reform, planned giving – more than ever – is about legacy. Wagner encourages us to listen, more than we talk in an attempt to engage donors into making, what she calls, “inspired gifts.”
