Virtual Giving Planned Giving Websites

Have you ever wondered how your salary compares to that of your peers?  Or how many prospects they really visit each month?  Have they been closing more IRA-rollover gifts than you?  Do they think earning that CFRE was worth it?

Ever sit next to a colleague at a luncheon and ask yourself if she votes Red State or Blue State?

Have you considered how far, ethically, you and your colleagues would go to close a big gift?

We were curious, too – right down to how the fundraiser-next-door relaxes after a long day – a Belvedere martini?  A glass of wine? Or, tai chi in the back yard?

Well, now we can all satisfy our curiosity, because the results of our new survey tell all.  (Haven't taken it yet? You still can. It's anonymous and fun.)

No, this is not background material for our new reality-TV show, So You Want to be a Planned Giving Officer.  We just wanted to know a little more about what makes us all tick, and add a little color to our profession. We’ve had too much vanilla and white bread lately – time for some cajun!

Seriously, we thought that the more we know about each other, the better we’ll all be able to do our jobs.  Ready to learn more?  The links are in the top left box – and be sure to keep on reading until you get to the comments section... some are funny, some are angry, all are heartfelt.
