Hanover College

Published on June 8, 2021

How can colleges, universities, and the higher education sector more broadly amplify their planned giving programs and increase bequest intentions?

We are delighted to share our latest case study, which highlights our partnership with Hanover College.

When the private midwestern college, which has an alumni list of roughly 8,000, sought to increase bequest intentions as part of its larger development initiatives, Giving Docs effectively supported the work of Hanover’s planned giving marketing consultant, The Stelter Company, in surprising ways.
