In my humble opinion, Greg Warner, head of MarketSmart, is exactly right and sets an example lots of nonprofits should follow.

We always want supporters to know that their gifts are  needed and appreciated. On the other-hand, thanking people for planned gifts or planned gift commitments is a little different because often the assets are not actually received by the nonprofit for quite some time.
