Every major gift is planned, and every planned gift is major, Fearless Major Gifts intentionally blurs those lines with the premise that if one knows how to identify, evaluate, cultivate, and finally ask for the gift, it does not matter if it is a major gift or a will inclusion. Clergy and lay leaders are often terrified of asking for major and planned gifts, even as parishes need them and donors need to give them, Seminaries do not necessarily teach how to do this essential work of ministry. LaFond is filling that educational gap.
