Focus on Assets and Future GiftsIn land-rich, cash-poor rural economies,
traditional urban income-based fundraising strategies will not succeed.
Focus on Gifting Assets, not Income.
Therefore, estate planning, and creation of expectancies within those estate plans, is paramount to success.

"To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man's power.But to decide to whom to give itand how large and when, and for what purpose and how,is neither in everyman's power--nor an easy matter.Hence it is that such excellence is rare,praiseworthy and noble. "
