The Planned Giving Council of the Mid-Hudson Valley Presents: Are Demographics Destiny? Contending with America’s Looming Demographic Upheavals A presentation by Jonathan Gudema of Changing Our World Inc. Based on U.S. government data and recent research regarding planned giving prospects, this presentation will explore startling new perspectives and evidence showing how nonprofits need to quickly reorient their fundraising and planned giving efforts to be ready for the next 10 to 20 years. Few have looked into the socioeconomic impact that our rapidly aging and changing population will have on planned giving and philanthropy. Societal changes in ethnicity, gender, family structures, dependent groups, population mobility, and health care costs will have a profound impact on future giving. Additionally, today’s real planned giving prospects are not who you thought they were. Understanding and responding to these seismic shifts is crucial to planning and making strategic adjustments before these changes happen.    Date: March 10, 2010 Time: 3:00 - 6:30 PM     Location: The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel:  40 Civic Center Plaza, Poughkeepsie, New York Cost: $20 For Members/Fund Holders of the Sponsoring Organizations; $25 For Non Members To Register: Visit the Community Foundation website at www.cfdcny.org and click on the PGCMHV        Event link to register by credit card or mail in the registration form with payment.
