Some charitable individuals suffer from “donor remorse.” These donors feel that their gifts were not used appropriately or they feel that they did not receive the appropriate naming recognition. After having made a major gift, have you been disappointed with the actions of the recipient organization? See Avoiding Donor Remorse.

Did you know:

• Making a major gift is a serious financial transaction that can often go awry.
• For many donors, a donor advised fund offers a cheaper, easier option than establishing a new foundation.
• Careful planning can add immensely to the success of a major gift.
• A surprising number of donors are unhappy with the results of their charitable giving.
• Gift restrictions can undermine the success of the gift and can actually hurt the recipient.
