Podcasts about beneficiaries

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Abashek Bhati, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Bowling Green State University, to dive deep into the ever-buzzing world of social media fundraising. Spoiler alert, it's not just about asking for money. Drawing on fresh research, Dr. Bhati reveals that nonprofits who blend a variety of six message types (instead of hammering the “donate now” button nonstop) can boost their fundraising results by a whopping 96%. That's nearly doubling your impact just by mixing up your posts. So, what are these six magical message types? Beneficiary stories, mission-focused content, engagement asks, expressions of gratitude, goal attainment updates, and fundraising ask. While asking remains the most frequent (and necessary) message, Dr. Bhati's research shows that over-reliance on it can lead to donor fatigue faster than you can say “algorithm change.” It turns out donors want to feel part of a story, not just a transaction. The conversation gets even juicier when Bill and Dr. Bhati dig into the science behind why these message types matter. Want more donations? Try publicly thanking donors (which can lift giving by 59%). Need to hit that campaign goal? Posts showing you're just $50 short create FOMO that can spike donations by 79%. It's all about creating that “whirlpool effect” of engagement, where your message spreads further and deeper. They wrap with practical tips for fundraisers of all organizational sizes. Don't have a massive marketing team? No problem. Start by planning posts ahead, use scheduling tools, and lean on your board, volunteers, and existing supporters to build your social media presence. Because as Dr. Bhati reminds us, social media fundraising isn't a magic bullet, it's a strategic dance. And when you choreograph your messages well, donors don't just listen, they leap in.

On this feel-good edition of the Trust the Plan Podcast, Nick Hopwood, CFP®, and Jim Pilat, CFP®, of Peak Wealth started with some positive market news. The S&P 500 is up double digits year to date, which has happened about 30 times since 1950 and is usually a good sign for the rest of the year. They encouraged listeners to focus on data like this rather than emotions, especially with distractions such as potential government shutdowns. The main topic of the episode was beneficiary IRAs and the strategy they recommend when taking withdrawals. They also discussed the investment risks involved and how proper planning can help manage them effectively. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Marc Chaikin back to the show. Marc is the founder of our corporate affiliate Chaikin Analytics and a market veteran of more than 50 years. Marc kicks off the show by explaining why he's bullish through the first quarter of next year, the implications behind a Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle, the opportunity today in homebuilders and biotech, and what's happening in the bond market with the "bond vigilantes." He breaks down the three factors driving the market right now and lists a few "less obvious" sectors and companies that are benefiting from these factors. (1:04) Next, Marc discusses his Power Gauge system and how it gives you an inside look into what folks on Wall Street are doing. After, he delves into how the current AI boom resembles the dot-com boom, a "mini bubble in the making" for data-management company Oracle, and China being behind gold's soaring price. Using the Power Gauge in real time, Marc gives listeners several gold-mining and construction stocks that are rated bullish by his system. (18:31) Finally, Marc reminds listeners that small caps were the real winners when the dot-com bubble burst, so that could happen again when the AI bubble inevitably bursts. This leads to a conversation about the late investment adviser Marty Zweig and his timeless advice for investors. Then, to close the show out, Marc speaks about the significance of this leg of the bull market being fueled by capital spending rather than customers... millennials investing in stocks... and fundamentals not mattering for younger investors.

We challenge contemporary perceptions of Yemen as a "backwater" by revealing the pivotal role of its port city, Mocha, in the making of our modern world. Historian Nancy Um delves into the fascinating history of coffee, from its origins in 15th-century Yemen to its global spread and the economic transformations it spurred. She explores the rich maritime trade routes of the Indian Ocean, highlighting Yemen's centrality as a crossroads for goods, ideas, and people long before European influence. Um discusses the Ottoman Empire's cultivation of coffee in Yemen, the rise and decline of Mocha as a trade hub, and the unique cultural adaptations of coffee consumption within Yemen itself, such as the popular Qishr drink. We also touch upon the broader impact of hot beverages and porcelain on global social and consumption patterns, revealing how these everyday items were once revolutionary technologies. Um shares insights into the ongoing efforts to revive Yemen's coffee industry and offers recommendations for further reading on Yemen's vibrant history. 0:00 Mocha: A Bustling 17th-18th Century Trade Center0:50 Yemen's Monopoly on Coffee2:46 Nancy Um's Interest in Maritime Trade and Yemen3:40 Yemen's Historical Significance Beyond Recent Decades5:51 What Made Mocha a Prime Trade Hub?7:58 Mocha's Rival: Aden8:11 The History of Coffee as a Drink10:01 Debunking Coffee Origin Myths: The Story of Kaldi and the Goats12:20 Coffee as a Hot Brewed Beverage from Yemen12:32 The Evolution of Coffee as a Commodity and Social Habit13:21 Early Suspicion and Prohibitions Against Coffee14:41 The Global Journey of the Coffee Plant15:57 The Dutch and Coffee Cultivation in Java17:22 Yemen's Shifting Coffee Fortunes18:14 The Ottomans and Yemen's Coffee Cultivation19:06 Ottoman Control of the Red Sea Trade20:37 Diversification of Trade Beyond Coffee21:37 European Influence on Mocha's Popularity22:21 Qishr: Yemen's Unique Coffee Husk Drink (aka Cascara)24:19 Efforts to Rebuild Yemen's Coffee Industry26:01 The Red Sea Trade Route's Enduring Importance29:02 The Indian Ocean: A Space of Exchange and Imagination30:51 Reconsidering Land-Based vs. Water-Based Cultural Identities33:20 Nationalizing Watery Metaphors and Icons35:10 Historical Naming Conventions and Cultural Continuities37:39 Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate: Technologies Reshaping Society40:30 The Coffee House and the Enlightenment42:07 The Decline of Mocha as an Economic Hub43:10 Beneficiaries of Mocha's Decline44:58 Challenge of Contradictory Stories in Historical Narratives47:20 Disproving Coffee Plant Smuggling Myths50:27 Misunderstandings About Yemen's History51:34 Book Recommendations on Yemen53:56 Access to Local Historical Documents in Yemen Nancy Um is Associate Director for Research and Knowledge Creation at the Getty Research Institute.

Although beneficiary designations avoid probate, it is often best to have your assets pass by will or trust since protection is often needed for your beneficiaries ranging from disability to tax planning.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your debts when you're gone? Many assume obligations simply vanish, but the truth is more complicated. Without a plan, your loved ones could face creditors, confusion, and unnecessary heartache. Let's explore how debt is handled after death—and the steps you can take now to protect your family.Different Types of DebtNot all debts are treated the same after death.Secured Debt: These are tied to assets such as homes or cars. If you pass away with a mortgage, the heir who inherits the property also inherits the payments. Without the ability to pay, foreclosure or repossession is possible. Unsecured Debt: Credit cards and personal loans fall into this category. Unless someone is a joint account holder, heirs aren't responsible. However, creditors can claim repayment from your estate before anything goes to heirs or charities.Special Cases: Student and Medical DebtStudent Loans: Federal student loans—including Parent PLUS loans—are discharged at death. Private student loans vary: some lenders forgive, others pursue repayment from the estate or co-signer. Medical Debt: Providers sometimes write off smaller balances, but they aren't required to. With rising healthcare costs, debts can be substantial, draining family assets quickly.Protected AssetsSome resources are shielded from creditors:Life insurance proceedsRetirement accounts with named beneficiariesThese bypass the estate entirely and go directly to heirs. But accuracy matters—outdated beneficiary forms can unintentionally disinherit a spouse or child.Other Important ConsiderationsCommunity Property States: In states like Texas, California, and Arizona, marital debts are often shared. Surviving spouses may be held responsible for balances they didn't incur. Co-Signed Loans: Parents, grandparents, and friends often co-sign loans without realizing they'll be responsible if the other borrower passes away.Planning AheadBecause the rules vary, consulting an estate attorney is wise. A one-time meeting can prevent years of stress later. But the best protection is simple: live with as little debt as possible. By building margin and reducing obligations, you bless your family with both financial relief and a legacy of stewardship.Practical steps include:Reviewing accounts regularlyUpdating beneficiariesPaying down debtsOrganizing important recordsCreating a will or trustProverbs 13:22 tells us, “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children.” That inheritance is about more than money—it's about modeling wisdom, integrity, and trust in God's provision. By stewarding your finances well today, you not only provide a cleaner path for your loved ones tomorrow but also leave them with a testimony of faith that points them back to Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My grandfather set up 529 plans for my kids years ago. When my older children graduate, can I use any leftover money for my younger daughter's education? And eventually, could I split the remaining funds among all my kids?I'm the Power of Attorney for my 92-year-old mother, who has regularly helped my two sisters financially. I'd like to set up automatic monthly gifts of $1,500 to each of them to stay under the annual gift tax limit. I'm also retired and considering using some of her funds to help with my grandchildren's college expenses. Is that ethical?I'm 71 and have been doing Roth conversions for the past two years. I opened a Roth account six years ago. Can I now withdraw money from those conversions without being restricted by any time limits?I'm 63 and have about $200,000 in a 401(k) from a former employer.

A new strategic alliance between R. Kenner French and the Asset Defense Team combines tax, finance, and AI expertise with nationwide asset protection and estate-planning legal services. French frames the session around a simple premise: many owners postpone estate planning, but doing it early enables an orderly transfer of assets and can reduce taxes for heirs. The partnership aims to deliver “one-stop” guidance so business owners can focus on what they do best.Estate planning is defined as setting out how your property (assets and debts) will be managed and distributed after death—ideally in a tax-intelligent way. Key terms include estate, beneficiaries, grantor, trustee/fiduciary, and probate (a public, court-supervised process most families try to avoid). While wills are important, they have limits: they generally don't avoid probate, can't disinherit a spouse, and may be weaker without professional drafting. Kenner suggests that specialized legal oversight—often worth the extra cost—reduces challenges and ensures documents reflect complex, real-world needs.Trusts are the backbone of many estate plans. He distinguishes revocable vs. irrevocable, living vs. testamentary trusts, and covers marital/non-marital structures such as QTIP , general power of appointment trusts , and estate trusts. Insurance-related planning remains significant. Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs) can keep policy proceeds outside the taxable estate (again mindful of the three-year rule). Survivorship (“second-to-die”) policies pay after both spouses pass—often at lower premiums—while “first-to-die” pays on the first death. Beneficiary choices must be made carefully: naming individuals can be simpler but gives less control over how funds are used, whereas trusts allow you to dictate timing and conditions. He also highlights healthcare directives, living wills, guardianship designations, and even funeral wishes as integral parts of a complete plan.Finally, Kenner explains how estate and inheritance taxes differ and why net estate value (gross assets minus debts/expenses) matters. Charitable strategies—like Charitable Remainder Trusts (potentially deferring or mitigating capital gains on highly appreciated assets while providing lifetime income) and Charitable Lead Trusts (front-loading benefits to charities and potentially reducing gift/estate taxes)—can align philanthropy with tax efficiency. The close: don't wait for a “perfect” plan—start now, consult qualified advisors such as Bob Bluhm and the Asset Defense Team.Takeaways• Estate planning is crucial for a smooth transition of assets.• Many people delay estate planning, which can lead to complications.• A will alone may not be sufficient for comprehensive estate planning.• Trusts can provide more control and benefits than wills.• Charitable trusts can help avoid capital gains taxes.• Life insurance can be a valuable part of an estate plan.• Choosing beneficiaries requires careful consideration.• Planning for funeral wishes can be included in estate planning.• Consulting with a qualified advisor is essential for effective estate planning.• Proactive estate planning can provide peace of mind for families.Sound Bites• You cannot avoid probate.• Get something on paper, do it now.• You can plan your own funeral.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Cathedral Giving by Design is thrilled to announce the 2026 beneficiary - Global Village Project - and welcome them to Sunday school this morning. Global Village Project (GVP) is the only middle school in the U.S. dedicated entirely to refugee girls. Through an innovative and trauma-informed academic model, GVP reactivates the interrupted education of girls who have fled war, violence, and displacement — and offers them the chance to not just catch up, but to succeed. It can be overwhelming for these young girls, but having once had their education denied from them, these students are dedicated, eager, curious, and relentless.For 16 years, GVP has operated in a converted church building, serving around 45 students each year. Every year, they turn away nearly half of all applicants due to space limitations. The need for GVP's model continues to grow — while the current facility has reached its limit.In response, GVP secured a new three-building, 26,000-square-foot school campus in Clarkston, Georgia through a capital campaign. Upon completion of renovations in the fall of 2026, the school will expand its capacity to serve up to 100 students annually, thereby more than doubling its impact.Event proceeds from Cathedral Giving By Design will help furnish the future — by outfitting the new campus of Global Village Project with three vital, healing spaces: an auditorium, library, and cafeteria. These spaces will become places where girls grow in confidence, creativity, and community.Cathedral Giving By Design takes place January 23–24, 2026.
