Jay DugganJay Duggan is the founder and CEO of Launch Legacy Consulting. He has over twenty-eight years? professional experience, sixteen in the financial services industry as a financial/insurance advisor for individuals, families, businesses, nonprofits and school systems. For the past twelve years Jay has worked as a frontline fundraiser in major gifts, planned giving and a consultant with several large nonprofits including the University of Georgia, Operation Blessing and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Jay recently furthered his specialization in planned giving through the designation of Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® from The American College of Financial Services.
Jay prides himself in cultivating authentic relationships with donors and working with them in such a way that they experience the joy of giving. Throughout his professional career he has enjoyed mentoring, teaching, and training others as a component of his work. He has trained one-on-one with major gift officers, planned giving officers, nonprofit CEOs, and Board members, and led trainings on a statewide, regional, and national basis.
About Launch Legacy Consulting, it offers a unique fundraising solution for small to mid-sized nonprofits that desire to build a legacy giving program. Many nonprofit leaders know that we are experiencing the greatest wealth transfer in history, and they want their organization to be a part of it, but they do not have the training or experience to build a planned giving program. Our firm?s concept was created when several non-profit leaders came to me with a simple request: help us build out a legacy giving program for our organization.
My firm believes it?s most effective to work with a limited number of select nonprofits at a time. The ?fractional-professional? concept keeps the services affordable while providing the planned giving guidance and support needed for nonprofits to experience success. My services include one-on-one visits with donors, in-person Board or staff trainings, donor-visit coaching, assistance in building out a marketing plan and more. With Launch Legacy Consulting, I hope that you consider me a part of your development team, specifically assisting you in connecting with donors and inspiring them to be generous with their legacy goals.
Jay has been married for thirty years to his wife Cherie, who works in development for All God?s Children serving throughout the southeast. They have five children, three of whom were adopted from Ethiopia. Their shared interests include the National Parks, the Bay View Association, Walt Disney World, traveling, and Pickleball.
