Legal Entity Type: Nonprofit/Charity
SDG(s):Good Health and Well Being, Partnerships to achieve the Goals, Reduced Inequalities, Sustainable Cities and Communities
Legal Issue(s):
The Felix Organization would like to set up a planned giving program. They are seeking a comprehensive consultation to better understand: (i) what options are available to donors and if some are recommended over others; and (ii) what steps the Felix Organization team needs to put in place to accept/solicit donations. Most donors will be from NY/Tri-State Area and California. However, the Felix Organization plans to promote planned giving to a wider network down the road.
