Summary:

Join us for an informative topic on The Basics of Powers of Attorneys and why Charities Should Care If Their Donors Have One.

Buffet Breakfast will be included.

Charitable organizations rely heavily on the generosity of their donors. However, one crucial aspect that often goes overlooked is whether donors have executed Powers of Attorney (POA) and whether these POAs include provisions for making donations. This presentation will provide the basics of the Powers of Attorney and underscore how the provisions of a Power of Attorney (or lack thereof) can impact their campaigns.

2. Relevance to Charities:
- Why charities should care about their donors' POAs.
- Potential risks and missed opportunities if POAs do not include donation provisions.
3. Considerations when an attorney is using a POA to donate:
4. Best Practices for Charities:
- Steps charities can take to encourage donors to include charitable donation provisions in their POAs.
