Mentoring Program

Announcing the New Planned Giving Mentoring Program!

The Mentoring Program matches members who are new to planned giving with experienced professionals.
This program is a benefit for members of the local chapter of the Planned Giving Forum of Greater Sacramento.  Our goal is to support development professionals who are currently engaged in some level of planned giving on behalf of their organization. 

Here’s how to get involved:

• Click here to complete the application to help us understand your needs.
• Please apply by October 1, 2017 to be considered for the 2018 mentorship cycle.
• We will match you with a seasoned professional whose experience matches your interests.
• If you would like to have a mentor and be considered for the program, but are not a current member of PGFGS, please click here to join.
  
  

Once matched with a mentor, mentees agree to:

• Make the first contact with your mentor and take the lead in scheduling up to four meetings over a twelve-month period.
• Clearly articulate your professional and organization’s needs and develop the agenda for each meeting.
• Fill out a post-mentorship evaluation to help us make this program even more useful for future mentees.

Mentors agree to:

• Participate in up to four mentoring sessions with your mentee during the year.
• Be available by phone or email as a resource for quick questions from your mentee about a planned giving opportunity.
• Optional:

           - Present a planned giving case study at a PGFGS session to give members practice in creating solutions for charitable
             opportunities.
           - Participate in a PGFGS mentor panel.

For questions and to submit the completed application, please contact Raquel Altavilla at pgfgs@comcast.net.
