People in Fundraising, ep. 141: M. Jay Duggan, CEO of Launch Legacy Consulting

Jay Duggan joins "People in Fundraising" from Georgia, and he was one of the many terrific guest leads sent my way months ago to get representatives from about a dozen states that had yet to be repped on this podcast. I really enjoyed talking with Jay about many development topics, including:

* Jay's decision to leave institutional nonprofit work to start, in the summer of 2021, his own firm - Launch Legacy Consulting. It has an awesome website! Launch has since become a Duggan family operation, with his wife Cherie as a co-founder and son Jon joining recently as Director of Philanthropic Strategies.

* Launch Legacy Consulting's focus on both Major Gifts and Planned Giving prospects and strategies. What attracted Jay specifically to planned giving, based on his background in insurance. 

* As a father of five, what Jay hopes his children will take from seeing him balance or integrate work and family life - as well as what he hopes they will understand about why he works in nonprofit fundraising.

Jay's passion for and expertise in Major and Planned Giving, in advance of nonprofits' missions, shine through in our conversation. Thank you, Jay, for a wonderful and engaging interview!
