Inclusive Philanthropy Institute
Micro-Credentialing Courses and Webinars
In partnership with Maia McGill, Consulting Partner and Founder of the Inclusive Philanthropy Institute, Marts&Lundy is proud to present the 2026 Inclusive Philanthropy micro-credentialing series. This year’s theme, The Future is Human, affirms that in an era defined by automation, polarization, and institutional uncertainty, the heart of fundraising remains profoundly human.
These bold, practice-ready offerings equip fundraisers, prospect researchers, advancement professionals, and leaders with critical tools for equity-centered transformation, from AI literacy to legacy messaging and narrative repair. Each webinar bridges strategy with values, offering frameworks that help teams harness technology responsibly, audit language with care, and build inclusive fundraising strategies grounded in trust.
Together, we will explore how you can continue to lead with precision and integrity, crafting language that honors rather than obscures, using AI without replicating bias, and reframing legacy through intergenerational and cultural lenses.
For those committed to shaping fundraising futures that are accountable, adaptive, and deeply human, this series is your invitation.
We invite you to explore our current offerings. If you want to be notified when registration for programs opens or when new programs are added, please use this link to be added to our mailing list.

The Psychology of Planned Giving: What the Data and the Heart Reveal
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. ET (USA)
Registration opens: August 21, 2026
Planned giving is shaped by more than financial and estate planning. It is influenced by psychology, culture, identity, family relationships, lived experience, and the legacy individuals hope to create. Drawing on behavioral and neuroscientific research and community-rooted giving traditions, this webinar will examine what motivates planned gifts, why conventional approaches may overlook donors of the global majority, and how institutions can strengthen prospect identification, CRM data management, qualification, donor discovery, messaging, solicitation, and stewardship. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for building more inclusive planned giving strategies and will receive Can Your CRM See Them? A Guide to Recognizing and Engaging Donors of the Global Majority in Planned Giving.
